Me? I'm just your garden-variety working-class autodidact.
I enjoy used book and music stores, coffee shops, a good Pinot Noir, hole-in-the-wall local restaurants, dive and karaoke bars, good prose style, and anything unpretentious. I possess a pathological aversion to boredom, and actively seek out ways in which the myriad ironies and drudgeries of everyday life can be made entertaining.
I've got an MA in English Lit and have read just about everything worth reading -- and quite a bit *not* worth reading. Drawing on this experience, I also work as a writer for DCist, a popular Washington-focused blog, contributing occasional book reviews and author profiles; my most recent story involved interviewing the current U.S. Poet Laureate.
I'm from Indiana, hence I'm a rabid basketball fan (think of the movie "Hoosiers" amped up a notch).
By day, I'm a "creative," penning ad copy for an advertising/PR agency with an international profile. By night I teach improv comedy at the DC Improv and perform with an improv/sketch comedy troupe and as stand-up comedian (even opening for a nationally known comic). In addition, I just became a micro-entrepreneur, having started my own improv comedy-focused event business.
