What is unique that's not in your bio?
I do my best writing in the late-night hours.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Living in another country. Adventure is more exciting in a different area code.
How do you define cool?
Impossible to define something that is constantly changing.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Research!
How do you reset to be creative?
Sleep. Eat. Shower. Drink. Cigarette. Drink again.
What inspires or excites you?
Watching a Quentin Tarantino film or reading something by Hunter S. Thompson. Those two icons have produced work which has influenced my life in ways that have come to define who I am. I always turn to Tarantino and Thompson whenever I seek inspiration or excitement.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Mickey Rourke will still be missing his face. Toronto Maple Leafs win 8 Stanley Cups in a row. Dane Cook finally tells a funny joke.
