What are your passions? Dogs. Coffee. Baseball nerd. Music nerd. Bad 90s movies. Learning new things.
What do you do / what are you working on? Post production supervisor in theatrical marketing post production — tv commercials, digital content, trailers, etc — for all of Sony’s movies.
If money was no object what would you be doing? Likely something along the lines of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah.
Someone / something that changed your life? Missy, and moving to Los Angeles with Missy. Rescuing a moody pit bull has made me a more thoughtful, structured, and responsible human. The best decision I’ve made. And moving here allowed us to meet incredible people like Aubrie and the Viva Pets team.
What’s the best piece of advice that someone has given you? My grandfather took me golfing weekly in the summer in my youth. He’d always yell at me for dirty golf clubs. “Take care of your clubs. They’ll take care of you,” he’d say all summer. I‘ve stretched that into an endless number of scenarios over the years. The core always being that you’re responsible for taking care of something more so than having the expectation that it will just magically take care of you — that sense of entitlement we all need to watch and keep in check.
What are you reading/listening to/watching right now? Reading: Stony the Road by Henry Louis Gates Jr. (There’s also a companion piece documentary on PBS I’m excited about when I finish). Listening: Skeleton Coast by The Lawrence Arms. Watching: Patriot on Amazon.
Something people don’t know about your pet: Missy is in love with the newish runner rug I bought for the bathroom. To an extent that she moves, repositions, and makes a second bed out of it on an almost daily basis.
