About Me

I drink espresso over coffee. I have a dog that only barks in her sleep. I write a lot. I start work at 4:30am. I play bass guitar. I've been know to teach improv. I accidently swallowed a moth while walking down the street today.

My Interests

This and that, most things are interesting with the right people around. Seriously, it's true. Shooting cans in a field...boring - Shooting cans in a field with Bea Arthur, kick ass! Feeding ducks...boring - Feeding ducks with Mike Tyson, priceless!

I feel like David Bowie in 'The Hunger'
