About Me

I live in Charlotte now and work at the US National Whitewater Center... or usnwc.org Kayaking still dictates my life, I'm just in a city now where I can reinvest in the surrounding culture, instead of feeling out of it for so long. It's good to be near civilization again.

My Interests

Whitewater kayaking- and everything about it.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Ghandi... and some other people..

Music:

Radiohead, Interpol, the shins and Liz Petty

Movies:

Best all-around - 2001 Space Odyssey - no question

Television:

Mixed martial arts and Sportscenter

Books:

Catcher in the Rye- that's all you really need. Ooo, Hamlet is great too.

Heroes:

Mom & Dad, Kurt Cobain, Marcel Duchamp, Egon Schiele, Stanley Kubrick, and Jean Luc Godard
