Interests
I am an avid aficionado of the arts. Seeing the world in a creative light, I have an insatiable thirst for design, harmony, color, music, and the like. I often find myself painting into the depths of my weekend nights, or helping create a virtual presence for my friends with excellent portfolios that beg for recognition. I developed a passion for fine arts at an early age, and my work graced the halls of Governor Schwarzenegger's art galleries. Most of my artistic fervor comes from the desire to understand the world around me, and art serves as a way to relate and exchange the multitude of human perspectives that we all seek.
I love being around people, and talking to people,and understanding people. I also enjoy a mean pesto pasta dish.
