Music, Movies, and Books

movies: too many to name. the old standby's are The Big Lebowski, Office Space, Anchorman, Zoolander and all Wes Anderson movies... comedy, I like comedy.

music: also too many to name, but I love hearing new stuff and am more than happy to share the music I've got.

books: all-time favorite is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Garcia-Marquez. Also a big fan of Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, Dave Eggers, Jonathon Safron-Foer, Haruki Murakami and I also dig nonfiction and memoirs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

unlicensed scuba-diving in mexico, backpacking solo across Europe, climbing the Great Wall, participating in a triathlon... those are my "amazing" achievements but there's soooo much more I want to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share music, teach you a few chords on guitar and cook a bit. I'm always looking to learn some sweet new dance moves.
