NOVOCAIN: Punk Rock, Architecture and Fatherhood

About Me

I'm a malcontent chinese superhero that practices architecture during the day and saves the world from certain doom at night.
I played in DUM(B), the best band you've never heard of,
and I played in the Cheats, a Pittsburgh punk rock band.
No one wants to play with me anymore these days.
My wife Libby and I live in Morningside with our two boys, Mies and Max.

My Interests

Deconstructing the current economic paradigm. Smashing the capitalist-patriarchy. And cooking.

Bill Murray, over a beer, and Shane MacGowan, over a bottle of Scotch.
and Thomas Kinkade.
