Video editor, writer and science enthusiast.
A bit about me: I'm courteous, respectful and sympathetic. If you ever forget your lunch at home I'll totally go halvsies with you on my turkey sandwich. I like to read just about anything - fiction, non-fiction, comic books, magazines, tabloids, twitter feeds, reddit. I'm also a pop-culture fanatic and huge nerd. One time, when I had to empty my pocket contents at the airport, I spent nearly ten minutes trying to explain to security what twenty-sided dice are used for. They were genuinely fascinated.
Videography and video editing are also passions of mine and I've worked as both an assistant camera operator and editor. One day, once I acquire all equipment and talent, I hope to start a small production company and bring some of my crazy ideas to the web.
