About Me

I make the best cheesecakes you will ever have the pleasure of tasting... and then you will cuss me out cause all other cheesecakes will be ruined for you.

My Interests

Making cheesecakes, photography, art, and driving, and driving, and driving, did i mention driving, and playing with my car which 7 out of 10 times means driving, and one more thing, I like to drive.

I'd like to meet:

Business minded people who can help me in my pursuit of local, state, and national distribution, and can help me find funding or, even better, provide some. And people who like cheesecakes (I'll deliver to your door inside a 40 mile radius of SF).

Music:

The Roots, Common, Mos Def, The White Album, Von Pea, Nonameko, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Maroon 5, Fela Kuti, Aceyalone, Tha Almighty Tanya Morgan.

Scrubs, My Name is Earl, Everybody Hates Chris, Different World, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Fifth Gear, Top Gear, Entourage.

Books:

The God Delusion, Illusions, Fast Food Nation, Snow Crash, Lies My Teacher Told Me, The Inferno, Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, Blue Moon Rising, Why We Get Sick, The Omnivores Dilemma...

Heroes:

My Mother for going to college and getting a degree @ 38 with two kids to raise, My father for doing things his way and being truly happy with the results, and my brother for having the determination to finish college in four years, and then continue on to his graduate degree.
