Oh curious about me are you? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just some guy.
I live in NYC with a very patient wife and two pet birds (meaning I have patient neighbors too).
I grew up in Dallas, and spent a few years in SF.
In the past I was very into health, and I'm trying to get back there.
Beyond that, I'm very interested in leftist politics and I like to play games (trivia, video, board, card, you name it).
