About Me

Former theatre geek who took a winding path to law school. Now, I'm a recent UT Law grad trying to decide what to actually do with his law degree. I've traveled a lot, including traveling all over the US in a RV. I've traveled to Russia, Finland, all over Europe and Canada, but I somehow have yet to make it to Mexico. I'm up for anything, whether that's going to an art exhibit, museum, improv show, going to see a movie or show, hanging out in a coffee house, hiking, or just going to a bar.
