Despite the fact that I'm still trying to figure out what I really want out of life, a fantastic film, great glass of wine, a magnificent piece of music, or any combination thereof is a great place to start. By day, I work as an editor for a Studio City telvision production company. My life is full of apparent dichotomies, but I chalk it up to being well-rounded. Currently, I spend my days putting together television shows for the US Ski/Snowboard Team, Full Tilt Poker, the 48Straight tour, or any of our other clients, but as soon as I leave the office, I might tune in to "Says You" on NPR, Jim Svedja on KUSC, or anything that the good folks at KCRW put on the air. I love the operas of Puccini, but you might catch me in the Pearl Jam message pit. I never miss an episode of 24, House, Lost, Hustle, Psych or Iron Chef America. I love to cook and go through charcoal like water. I consider myself a diehard fan of the Minnesota Twins and the Northwestern Wildcats. Autumn is my favorite season - grape harvests, football, the changing hues of leaves and the chill in the air. I've grown to love a lot of things about California, but would still consider myself a kid from the Midwest and would move to Chicago in a heartbeat - if not for the significant blow that would deal to my dream of making movies. But enough about me... what about you?
