Originally from New York and most recently from San Francisco, I think I've finally acclimated to Iowa weather--and after only four years! I live in the small city of Perry with two awesome humans, two obnoxious dogs, and two snotty cats. Or is that two snotty humans, two awesome dogs, and...? Well, the numbers are definitely right, at least. I enjoy (online) gaming, reading of all kinds, and in-depth discussions.

Academic History

  • Alfred University (BA, 2001)
  • California College of the Arts (MFA, 2007)

I also continue taking classes locally and online because learning is fun. Abnormal psychology, history of the Internet, ancient philosophy...everything is fascinating! Learn all the things!
