I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me


i have an amazing life, like a dream.
i still keep in touch with my five best friends from grammar school and talk to at least one of them every day. my friends mean the world to me and i do my best to show up for them when they need it.
my parents were divorced for 17 years but got back together after hurricane katrina and got remarried on october 26th. my grandpa’s house flooded during the storm and he’s 82 years old but still drives a car and goes to the gym 5 days a week. i should probably call him more.
i work as a film editor. i do music videos mostly and an occasional commercial or movie. for the last two years i've won the MTV Video Music Award for best editing… in 2006 for gnarls barkley’s “crazy” and in 2007 for gnarls barkley’s “smiley faces.” the first time was surreal but the second time was simply absurd. quite honestly i still don’t believe it. god’s got my back, that’s all i can figure.
my heart is filled with love.

My Interests



music and film, editing, coffee, sleeping, reading, writing, hiking, eating out, arguing, being right, recovering, being wrong, staying home, cooking, helping others, lots of coffee, editing, sleeping, attempting to walk the talk, generally living the dream

I'd like to meet:
