Thirty something gay male living in Northern California. Introverted, creative, and introspective. Trained as an artist with a professional background in art and academia, though currently working in the tech sphere. In the process of getting a studio practice up and running again, and am also trying to become more of an outdoorsman. My passions include: art, architecture, cooking, films, true crime, history, philosophy, nature / outdoors, reading, podcasts, collecting vinyl, small space design, to name a few. Definitely a political junkie with a penchant for Marxism.
