I am an artist (painter) first and foremost, but I have made my living in sales and as a graphic designer. My more interesting talents include solving a Rubik’s cube in less than three minutes, juggling, and playing the saxophone. My nerdiest qualities include knowing everything about ancient Egypt, a level 90 character in World of Warcraft (a Night Elf Hunter), and I used to breed and keep Crested Geckos.

Things I love: Coffee, women, getting just the right amount of sleep, my UCLA sweatpants, organic peanut butter, camping, overcoming physical challenges, Belgian beer, playing rugby, animals, going to raves, non-fiction, making things out of other things, Jameson, deep sincere conversation, snacks, learning about survival, meeting new people, California, avocados, wool socks, Burt’s Bees chapstick,and rainbows.
