I was born and raised on the Third Coast, spent 16 years on the East Coast, 6 years on the West Coast, and the last 4 on the North Coast. I’m a bit of a lost boy, but mostly in a good way: One time I got lost in Mexico and stayed for 2 years. I adore pigeons. I think compassion is the most important quality a person can have. I like complicated people and doing things that scare the hell out of me. I’m good at being uncomfortable and crave adventure, which is important for good work (and good life). I look forward to taking some big risks this year, failing a lot, and drinking in so much of the collective experience here that my head explodes in the best way possible.
