About Me

Most people call me Bander. That's basically what I am.

I recently found out I look pretty decent in a Hawaiian shirt. I don't know if I like what that says about me as a person.

“The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ben Fong-Torres. And YOU! Come to my shows! Almost all of them are at a terrific improv/sketch palace called the Magnet Theater, located at 254 W 29th St @ 8th Ave. Check out their site for show and class info: http://www.magnettheater.com
