I'm fast and sneaky.

About Me

I am a human. That being said, I suppose I'm not much different from the next guy. I like sleeping and reading and golf and beer and girls and sports. I've lived a pretty swell life. Worked hard. Played hard. Travelled some. Loved some. Lost some. Dim sum. On the whole, I feel like good things just keep happening. But I suppose I can thank myself for some of it. I live in New York, but I'm Detroit and Michigan through and through. I love my family and miss them. I love my friends and like making new ones. I like cleaning my ears with q-tips and brand new over-the-calf-tube socks and aquariums and milk. I own a car. Boom!

My portfolio. In case you want to give me a job.

My Interests

Fast, insects, golf, fish, sneaking, trees, basketball, books, Mama's fried chicken, sleep, inventions, pizza.

I'd like to meet:

A duck who is also a lawyer.

Music:

First, I can't stand people who list every band they've ever liked in this section. Like you're going to get some sort of medal for liking more bands than me. I get it, you like music. Congratulations.

Second, I don't like looking at profiles where songs start playing when I'm on the page. That's just what I need at work, some dumbass song coming on while I'm not doing my job.

Movies:

You can assume that if you're reading this and you like a movie, I probably like it too. Unless you're thinking of Inspector Gadget, with Matthew Brodrick. That sucks.

Television:

Law & Order. Laguna Beach. Lost. Sopranos. The Deadliest Catch. Family Guy. Law & Order. Entourage. SportsCenter. Arrested Development. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Law & Order. Yeah, that's right, I fucking love Law & Order.

Books:

Hemmingway, Augusten Burroughs, Tom Robbins, Stephen King, non-fiction historical-type books, amongst others. I'm a compulsive book buyer. I can't walk out of the store with one book, I must buy a minimum of three. So I always have a big on-deck pile of books.

Heroes:

Tom Brady, Alex Bogusky, Ernesto "Che" Gueverra, my brother, my dad, Charles & Kenny, Gary Larson, Black Thought, Muhammad Ali, dinosaurs(when they were alive), Barry Sanders, Jordan, Dr. Suess, Jon (sort of).

The master cleanse diet. Perhaps you've heard of it. Perhaps not. Basically, it involves a total halt to the eating of all foods. You survive on a regimen of salt water, lemonade (with Cayenne pep...

I've been watching a new HBO show, John From Cincinnati, since it started. And until about three episodes ago I was really liking it. It's random, kind of funny and pretty mysterious. Then--and I'm no...

Every day on my way to work, as I exit at the subway system, I walk by a porno store whose entryway is in the subway station stairwell. And miraculously, one-third of the time I see professional-look...
