About Me

I'm half Papua New Guinean, half American. Much of my childhood was spent being toted about different countries with my family.

I moved from New York where I wrote about videogames and their place in art, culture, and society. Oh I was also a waiter, which is a little less glamorous. Or maybe the same amount of glamorous. At the moment I have left it all behind in search of Something Different. Let me know if you see it.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you really learn how to pay attention, then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot,slow, consumer-hell type situation as not only meaningful, but sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars." David Foster Wallace
