I grew up in the suburban sprawl
of Orange County, CA amid the
full gamut of human variety.
I majored in Chinese History and
Comparative Religion at Whittier College
while playing a lot of guitar
and drums in my free time.
I moved to Japan following graduation
and taught English for a year.
I may have eaten way too much
whale and raw horse meat during
my stay but I learned to cook
and wash my own laundry,
so it worked out.
Currently, I'm studying web development while running a wedding
photography operation with a
partner. I enjoy recording music in
minor pentatonic scales, playing
club level chess, and drinking
unrecommended amounts of iced coffee.
