About Me

I moved from Indianapolis to Brooklyn about a year ago. Now at least I can say I did it.

I'm engaged to be married. I asked her and she said yes. I know, I'm as mystified as you are, but it's true. But you'd have to chisel the smile off my face, so Go Team!

I like to take pictures. You like to look at them.
