A: I always try to add to the lives of the people I interact with, to leave things better than I found them if I can.
A: I paint and make sculpture; I'm a method focused visual artist.
A: I'm really grateful for growing up in a family that moved around to a new place every few years. Although I would rarely fit in anywhere, it taught me early on to think critically and to examine ideas that I didn't at first understand.
A: I try to look at every situation from as many perspectives as I can reasonably think of within the given parameters.
"go big or go home" is a phrase that resonates with me big time, and when I make a connection I believe in then I'm very much a "ride-or-die" type of guy.
I'm very, very laid back. about most things.
A: I like to travel often, I get the itch to see someplace new pretty easily. Feels like there's never enough time to see all the places I'd like to see, and then all the places people suggest too.
A: Depends on the day! I like to be outdoors if the weather is nice, tossing around a frisbee in a park. Indoors I’m usually working on a painting or sculpture.
A: It’s hard to say what I would talk about because I don’t have any rehearsed stories; I prefer to let conversation progress organically. I’d likely relate an amusing anecdote or two from my past. Sharing curious (yet often useless) factoids is bound to happen - I’ve always been very curious and I love sharing things I’ve learned with others who have similar interests.
A: I'm really good at taking jokes if I can catch one. Ha! I'm pretty laid back about most things, I can easily laugh at myself for doing something dumb or embarrassing, I don't often take things personally, and I am direct and honest. These are traits that I have admired in others and I am proud to say I do the work to call them traits of mine now also.
A: Having music to listen to is the first thing that comes to mind, rare is the occasion I prefer silence. Painting is another big part of my life; it's a way for me to process things going on around me and I don't really get why or how, but it works, so without it, I'd probably be (more of) a nutcase!
Three: Hot sauce(s): any, as many, all.
Fourth: the ending of winter, brrr.
Fifth: the end of summer, too damn hot. `
