I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Orignally from Fairfax, VA I went to college in Durham, NC and then moved to Seattle in 2001. When I am not working I spend a lot of time volunteering in community theater groups (pretty much any technical position but mostly in set design/construction and sound) as well as recording music and mixing bands live. I've got a house in Redmond that sees more of its fair share of parties which I share with KB and Cin - and Amaya, the sweetest dog in the world, an da sucker for sleeping at your feet. Occasionally we get terrorized by the ball of furry fury that is Umlaut.

My Interests

Sound recording and engineering, theatrical sound and set construction and general theater tech, software engineering, VOIP, Penny-Arcade Expo, physics, gadgets and toys.

I'd like to meet:

Lost friends, anyone willing to teach me something new and interesting or just let me peek over their shoulder while they work, or just more interesting and fun people.

Music:

Hooked on Wolfmother at the moment but my interests range across the board, though tend towards good solid Rock. I'll listen to anything so long as it has an interesting sound or I get feel the beat.

Movies:

All over the place - I'll watch anything (pretty much)

Television:

What I am recording on my Replay now: House, Doctor Who, The 4400, This Old House and the New Yankee Workshop (I'm a sucker for building shows), Numb3rs, The Office, My Name is Earl

Books:

Authors: Terry Pratchet, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Neal Stevenson, Arthur C Clarke, Orson Scott Card (do you see a pattern here)

Heroes:

I respect and admire a lot of people - no one I'd call a hero though. If you do something that is challenging and do it well and with grace you've got me impressed.
