I am a big nerd at heart. I love science fiction, fantasy, and horror, both literary (Isaac Asimov, Octavia Butler, Ursula Le Guin, Philip K. Dick, Robert Jordan, Stephen King) and cinematic (Star Trek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, The Fifth Element, Alien, Willow, Dark City, The Evil Dead franchise, Event Horizon). I enjoy cosplay and building replication movie props and of course Halloween is my favorite holiday. Sometimes I do standup focused on science, the immigrant experience, and anything that has been bugging me for more than 15 minutes. On the weekends you can find me at the local farmers markets, buying rhubarb (that I will totally bake into a pie and not throw out when it starts to liquify in my fridge) and maple cotton candy. In the mornings and evenings you can catch me in the park with my dog, a husky-shepherd mix named Bela (his name is an obscure Married with Children reference, if you figure it out I will buy you a drink).
