About Me

Out on the west coast goin on an entrepreneurial bender. I make chainmaille and leather roses and whatever else that pops up in my head.
I despise working retail or any other underpaid, boring, dead-end job. Therefore I'm doing my damndest to live off of my own sweat and blood.
So far so good.
I walk countless cubits a day, practice the electric bass guitar, and generally enjoy the refillable hot mochas at Carrow's and cappucinos at Denny's, provided that they are accompanied by a decent game of Scrabble.

My Interests

roleplaying, art, music, singing, guitar, bass guitar, aviation, adventure racing, kayaking, bouldering, biking, hiking, sprinting, swimming, fighting, escrima, aikido, capoeira, violence, pain, chainmaille, computer games, analysis, introspection, linguistics, science, russian, mythology, knowledge, writing, dreaming, creating, living

I'd like to meet:

Anyone in the market for chainmaille armor, clothing, or accessories. If you can describe it I can create it. Check out my 'Chainmaille' photo album for examples of past projects and feel free to send a message of inquiry.

Anyone as disturbed by Southern California as me :). Other displaced Pittsburghers. Lonesome writers, musicians, and philosophers looking for a creative outlet and intellectual discourse.

Wordsmiths, rogues, and social voyeurs. The uninitiated, adventurous, and downright neurotic.

Anyone up for some roleplaying- tabletop, CCG, LARP and the like.
