Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

A wannabe photographer, terrible guitarist, and a HUGE soccer fan. Made the switch from the NYC metro area to Los Angeles, and loving it. All ideas, thoughts, rants and raves, are my own. Unless I've been drinking tequila or rum, in which case they are that of my evil alter ego with the same name.
