I have paid rent in Tucson, Arizona, Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California.
I have worked as a bookseller, furniture salesman, summer camp councilor, personal assistant, proofreader, freelance writer, storyboard artist and online editor, to name a few.
I worship the sun, love the ocean and the desert and will not travel East of the Mississippi after Thanksgiving for fear of getting stuck at O'Hare Airport.
I revel in the funky cultural underbelly of Americana: the unheard music, underappreciated books, disrespected movies and crumbling bits and pieces of the 20th Century that still exist.
