About Me

I'm a 41 year-old God obsessed hipster doofus with bill murray hair (slowly turning into martin landau hair!) and an interest in theology. i'm also a chef who feels like dizzy gillespie at work, except when i work buffets, then i feel like the great and powerful wizard of oz. although i enjoy feeling like nobody.
