CURRENT MISSION

When I grow up I want to be a firetruck.

To be a writer/director for film and being the best version of me I can be.

ABOUT ME

i'm a guy who wants to meet new cool people and explore a rad city! I work as a graphic designer and music acquisitions buyer for libraries, while writing/directing film is my career goal. So to meet people in the film industry would be great, but anyone who is laid back, big into food and drinks and music would be fantastic to hang out with! I love all things technology and gaming, graphic novels, movies obviously, natural history and new adventures!
Let's be friends! :D

PHILOSOPHY

"Attitudes are contagious. Make yours worth catching".
