Curiosities

My favorite bands are Mint Condition, Hiatus Kaiyote, and The Internet.

I try to rollerskate more than I drive. To save the Earth, I guess, but also because my skates light up and I think that’s cute.

I tried to run away to Cuba once, but I’ve always been a little directionally challenged, so I ended up in Thailand.

I like video games, but I never finish them because I never want them to end. Why don’t I just finish the game and start it over? Right. Good question. Next question.

I was born in Palmdale, California, but I was raised in Chicago, THE WESTSIDE, and when I write and produce my TV shows, you will hear about the Westside so much it will make you wanna barf.

I’m vegetarian. *
I celebrate Treat Yo Self. It’s a very real holiday to me.
I have tried and failed at aerial artwork for years now. For some reason, I still want to open my own studio one day. I may even write a pilot? Short film? Feature film? about the aerial silks world.

*I would tell you that I’m vegan, but I eat honey—and apparently that’s frowned upon. (UPDATE: As of mid to late 2020, I have, in fact, become vegan. And I no longer eat honey, but can someone help me find an EQUALLY or MORE sweet substitute? (ANOTHER UPDATE: Listen, I had some goat cheese on a salad and I haven’t looked back and did you know imitation crab is FISH? So listen, I’m plant based now. I don’t know.)
