CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool and crazy cats

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New Jersey but usually tell people on the west coast I'm from New York - which is true, since I was born there.

I use hyphens too much. I know how to use semicolons correctly but don't usually construct my sentences in ways that require them.

I can count on my fingers in binary. When I show this to people it usually results in them being confused and staring at my rapidly waving fingers. It is, however, useful because I can count to 31 on one hand and 1023 on 2.

I graduated from unit and moved across the country to work in tech in SF. In my free time, I volunteer, go to shows, and work on side projects. I also enjoy skiing - especially cross country.

I'm an ENTJ & like this explanation best: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTJ.html

In other news, trying to adjust to being a real person. Fighting hard against becoming one completely.

PHILOSOPHY

Get everybody and the stuff together. Ok, three, two, one let's jam.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped out at the edge of the Sahara desert once. I was also chased off the Centre Pompidou in Paris by a couple of cops during a street performance that I participated in. I skiied at Lake Tahoe and lazily houseboated on Lake Shasta. I was part of a team that gave a TED talk.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to juggle; teach them english, or teach them any sort of computer programming.
