Hi.

I’m an art director who likes thick beer, spicy sauce and Halloween.

My dance moves are inspired by Napoleon Dynamite — you’ll find no shame here.

I have eaten cow brains, been bathed by an elephant and have gotten hit in the face by a pigeon.

Overall, the obstacles I have faced have taught me to have an open mind and palate.

Wanna chat over some hops or caffeine?
