I’m an over-achieving jack-of-all-trades.

​

I’m half-Asian and was raised Jewish. 

I love to make music. 

I’m an enormous nerd. 

I have two cats and a dog.

​

I take pictures of everything.

I’m a runner.

I like trying to put the undefinable into words, even though it’s a fundamentally flawed effort.
