About Me

I'm a video game artist for a living but I have a full life outside of computers. I have a talent for finding killer things to do almost every night of the week and am very rarely bored. I am currently working on remodeling my house and building a still to make my own hooch. I am a great cook and I love cooking for others. I have a penchant for dive bars but also like the swanky digs from time to time too. I travel quite a bit for fun and like to lose myself in a culture. The thought of just sitting on a beach for 2 weeks makes me weep like a child. I can fix almost anything that's broken and can break a lot of things that work fine (I love to tinker). I hate the republican party and people who try to rule others based on their own whacked morality. I'm not a steak and potatoes guy. I can get stressed out but I don't let it ruin my life. I have a perfect credit score. I'm a clean freak at home but a total messy marvin at work. I've never been to a Monster Truck Show at the Tacoma Dome but am quite curious (I've always wanted to see Fordzilla and Tyrannosaurus-Wrecks do battle) however I think Wrestling is totally trashy.

My Interests

Travel, work, tennis, cooking, snapshots, drawing, art museums, building kinetic sculpture, dinner parties, foie gras, trying to convince my friends to vote, building stuff, taking stuff apart, reading,

I'd like to meet:

People with lots of hobbies and interests. People to share travel stories with. Specialists. Scientists and nerds. Anyone who can keep a good conversation going. I want to meet people who eat meat. It doesn't have to be a lot of meat, just don't freak out if I cook something with it in it. People to play Tetris with (or any other puzzle based game). People that challenge me and have something to teach.
