About Me

I am a husband and father before anything else. I am a passion driven artist, writer, and musician. I care about things like philosophy and psychology especially in relation to lived experiences. 

I am a lifelong learner, but I believe most of the things I've learned have been through personal pursuit of creative endeavors. There is something deeply personal about the things a human creates that makes it essential to our existence.

I enjoy tech, video games, reading fiction and non-fiction, but mostly fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, and things like mountain biking, BMX, snowboarding, skateboarding, and pretty much any type of transportation there is. 

I'm not a fan of organized sports like football or hockey, but I enjoy Dodger Baseball, the occasional soccer match, and of course any sports my kids are playing in. I like the experience of going to a game in person though, regardless of sport. 

Since being of working age, I have done a number of different jobs. Some of them menial and boring, like stocking shelves or hanging and folding clothes. Some of them exciting, like booking and managing a band or touring the west coast in a beat up dodge truck. I have worked in many different industries; retail, music, food service, IT service, software & data, medical device and have learned many things about many types of people. I enjoy even the most ambiguous of tasks because it allows me freedom to find my own path of least resistance toward a goal. I have also dedicated substantial time toward having the skills necessary to observe and analyze effectively, resulting in less time wasted, and more resolution of problems!
