About

Here are some interests of mine in no particular order:

Music

My father was in a punk band back in the day, so I grew up with The Ramones, Dead Kennedys, and The Clash. I recently got into collecting and mixing cassette tapes due to my love for 90's and 00's southern rap. See my contact page for more info on my music tastes.

US Presidential History

I love US history, particularly through learning about the Presidents as I find the complexity of them as characters fascinating. My three personal favorite presidents from a character/lore standpoint (not interested in policy) are Teddy for his work ethic through adversity, LBJ for his command of congress, and James Monroe because he is so underrated.

Art History

Became a casual interest of mine after my time living in Berlin in 2022. My favorite artists are Kazimir Malevich, Joseph Turner, and Rembrandt.

Chess

State champ in fifth grade which was my peak. No more tournaments, but I still enjoy the game casually.

Sports

Celtics, Patriots, and Crystal Palace FC (in that order). I'm a New England sports fan through and through, but I developed a soft spot for Palace.
