Interests

Even in my personal time, I am involved in all things media, including enjoying and creating music, movies, television shows, podcasts, writing, art and design, and playing video games when I can squeeze them in. I grew up reading comic books and dreaming of touring with Metallica.

I am an avid Los Angeles sports fan and am evolving into a fitness enthuastist. I try to attend as many live shows, performances, games, and events as I can. I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology and learning how to create custom guitar effects pedals.
