About Me

Artist / educator living in a live/work loft with two (villainous) cats.

I work pretty late most evenings and I travel - a lot - but if the stars align I might be able to host you provided you don't mind the smell of oil paint, a drafty live work loft, a sometimes bumping club across the street, and two night terrors taking the physical attributes of cats - then you are more then welcome to use a couch for the night.

I'm usually up for a drink and a good conversations too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - we will go by decade
60s - Khmer rock compilations, 70s - Can, 80s - Robbie Basho / Arthur Russell, 90s - My Bloody Valentine / Fugazi, 00s - Roadside Monument, Now- everything.

My movie tastes are spotty - I rarely watch movies so American Splendor has remained my favorite. I hope that I live a life worthy of our generation's Paul Giamatti playing me.

Books - this would be a long list - but my all time favorites are Against Nature and Godel, Escher, Bach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you don't count Alaska or Hawaii my National Park checklist is almost complete

What I Can Share with Hosts

Couch, blankets, cats, wifi, a microwaveless kitchen, and a spacious backyard.

There is a washing machine too - just no dryer.

I'm also close to a major bus line -
