About Me


about me
nerdy, dialectical, socially consicous, politically interested, philosophically minded, constantly questioning, thoughtful, musical, DIY/DIT, locally grown.

i play guitar in a metal band called TITAN. i make the world's best grilled cheese sandwich (vegan option available.)
who i'd like to meet
people who might inspire or intrigue me; people who are interesting, thoughtful, insightful. people who are challenging and willing to be challenged. people who understand that friendship is about more than bland pleasantries.

if you want to add me, message me first (unless we already know each other in real life!)
