Let's see. I was raised on the east coast, mostly in the Baltimore area and I've lived in Los Angeles for ten years. Jesus, that's hard to believe. But true nonetheless. I'm lucky that I have several friends from back home who've settled in Los Angeles. They would describe me as quirky.

I have a neurotic wheaten terrier who makes me smile everyday. I've always been good with my hands and like to put them to use by wrenching on an old vespa, cooking, or editing. Drinking wine, hunting for mid-century furniture, seeing a band, an art show, a film or dancing are all good ways to spend a weekend.

Grabbing a drink at a local dive for an in-person "chemistry" test.
