About Me

Adventurous and fun loving- a walking cartoon! Not only do I march to a different drummer, I have a biomechanical zombie marching band. Speaking of bands, I'm the front person for a band from NYC called Hate in the Box When I'm not busy performing, I'm usually creating art, building robot arms and costumes, playing 8-bit nintendo games and beating up kids for their lunch money.

Other things you might not know about me:
-My hair is infinitely variable. i have forsaken pesky dyes and wigs and installed an organism what lives off me brain meats. It's alive... it's ALIVE!

-I'm trilingual, I speak english and spanish fluently and can read and speak (intermediate) Japanese (studying for about a year and a half). If you speak japanese and live in NY and need a study buddy, send me a note.

- I don't study japanese because of a trendy interest in anime, but because it will be the first stop on Hate in the Box's world tour! Get ready to be rocked, Japan!

- I have an unhealthy obsession with Kung Fu movies, especially Shaw Bros, Jet Li, Gordon Liu and J. Chan.

-I've ridden the Cyclone in Coney Island 16 times in a row!
- I love pirates, swashbuckling and skullduggery!

- I'm working on an animated video for my band, which is pretty much just begging for trouble, too bad that happens to be my middle name.

. I've taken up contortion and acrobatics! It's fun, but HARD work and I totally suck, so any tips that seasoned acrobats or contortionists have to give me would be greatly appreciated!
