HERE'S
HOW I THINK.
Most bios tell you about who a person is.
But that would make this bio like everyone else's.
So this one is mostly about how I think, and
If it sticks, we'll find time to talk about the rest.
I LIKE FINDING
THE FUN IN FRICTION
Why can’t a villain win?
Who says we weren't there from the beginning?
What if the best coffee wasn't from a barista?
When did Halloween become so safe?
How about a loophole?
Then playing with that friction until people
stop questioning and start believing.
