About Me

I'm down to earth, open-minded, and friendly. I tend to be somewhat introverted, but I love good conversation. I'm also a night owl who loves to read books and watch documentaries. New suggestions are always welcome; keep me in the know ;)

You can no longer view work on my website as I've shut it down.
