About Me

On a regular basis, I enjoy the following: riding my bikes, playing soccer, drinking beer, programming movie nights, eating food, laughing, warning others of the dangers of swords, giant city-crushing monsters, zombies, discovering new music.

Need a little excitement in your life? You should be at my sorta-weekly (actually every first and third tuesday) Secret Movie Night .
