I grew up in Michigan. I now live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. To start, I like my bike, cheese, not sleeping, photogrophy/photoshop, running, cookie dough, dinosaurs, fred flare, ramen, finding little known bars- restaurants- dance parties & shows, bright colors, bridges, electronic and experimental music, comedians, cook-offs, airplanes, links, boxing, trivia, and scavenger hunts. I work at Gawker.
