ALOHA. MAHALO. SHAKA.

Howzit? So, you want to know more about me? Well, I'm a Honolulu-born, UCLA 8-Clapper with heavy nerd love for sportsball, fried dough, and Mountain Dew. ☺ I also have an incessant weakness for exploration – by land, sea, and mind. It's why I've visited every U.S. state (except Alaska) and currently have (an excessive) 1,480 stories bookmarked in Pocket. Professionally, I've held positions on both sides of the communications fence. Starting out as a journalist, I had a cub reporter's dream of seeing my byline grace The Gray Lady's smudgy pages. It never happened, but maybe it still could? Eventually, though, I put the notepad down to serve a long stint as a public relations suit. Somehow I earned a reputation that preceded me to the point of minor fandom – journalists created an amusing if not sarcasm-laced hashtag in my honor. Silly kids. Now? I continue to tell stories for whoever needs one told. And in what better place than New York City where there is no rest for the hustle? UPDATE (2018): Relocated to Detroit. Needed more freezing temperatures in my life. Also, t-shirts tell me they hustle harder here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ________ TL;DR: I am a storyteller, a sharer of experiences – good, bad, and crazy. Let me help you tell yours. Also, anyone wanna take me to Alaska? |
