CURRENT MISSION

Spending a few weeks on the road with a final destination of Portland, Oregon. Chicago has been home for the last decade, moving myself out to the west coast leisurely. I've got a few gigs lined up on my way out west to make a little money playing music. Interested in camping out, house parties and breweries.

Music, Movies, and Books

my metabolism allows me to consume whatever i want, whenever i choose, therefore I'm not a picky eater and enthusiastically entertain exploring new restaurants and bars, including old favourites.

My music and book influences vary. Right now I'm loving Cut Copy, Boy Crisis, and Pretty Lights.

I read books simultaneously to appease my ADD & because I like to read different books based on my tone/mood. A Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole), Ragtime (E.L. Doctorow), We The Living (Ayn Rand), Pygmy (Chuck Palahniuk) are current reads, while The Fate of Africa, a beginners guide to Buddhism, and a navigational/cultural guide for New Zealand fill in appropriately.

Sci-fi, comedies, epics, and animation are sure-fires, but you can trick me into watching drama/romantic blah as well. Planet Earth and Black Books are two of my favourite TV Shows, amongst the guilty pleasures.
