About Me

i build things that make noise for people who wish to make noise with them. i love my wife. i have the coolest dog in the world. i obsessively count things and look for patterns, but not in a creepy way. i grind my teeth, and sometimes play drumbeats with them-- right side bass, left side snare. i like to build things. i drink too much coffee. i play a mean bass guitar, and the blisters on my fingers don't go away. i'm a mess of social anxieties. you make me uncomfortable, but i'll hug you when i've had a few drinks. i am left-handed. i have never broken a bone or had stitches, despite doing some incredibly stupid things. i don't know what i want to be when i grow up.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

artisans. musicians. good people. people who don't communicate in anecdotes. honest people. people who think.
