I grew up in Kansas, and ironically live in a barn in San
Francisco. I spend alot of time trying to make things
aestheically pleasing and meaningful. I swim. I can
cook well. I like to dance. I know my limitations, but
never let them stop me. I'm a good person, but practice
the virtue of mischief frequently. I like to get messy, I
like to get clean. I like expensive jeans, but can kick
it in a sarong. I play guitar sometimes. I listen well.

Stimulating people with a unique sense of the world
and its beauty, and ideally are doing something to keep
it so.
