hails from: NASHVILLE

brings to the table: a semester studying film in LA (writing, shooting, editing, directing and producing), background in filmscore composition

gets giddy about: ultimate frisbee, Walt Disney World, musical composition and orchestration, documentaries, cool sneakers, hymns, Halloween, typography, IPA's and ambers, autumn, cellos, editing

gets grumpy about: ironing, crappy movies, getting up "early" (pre-7:30 am), the 80's, running, people who lack humility, cooking elaborate meals, the Black-Eyed Peas

evidence of nerdery: see most of "gets giddy about" section, but also: former high school English teacher, reads Wired magazine cover-to-cover, Apple evangelist since before it was cool, sings harmony parts in church

moving picture inspiration: Coen Brothers, Pixar, David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Children of Men, The Iron Giant, Where the Wild Things Are, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

in his headphones: any filmscore by Thomas Newman, John Williams or Danny Elfman, Aphex Twin, Bon Iver, Beatles, Fleet Foxes, Eluvium, Explosions in the Sky, Loney Dear, Faure, Lost in the Trees

can be seen: indulging in the "safer" flavors at Locopops, in his car harmonizing to music even if it doesn't need it, snuggling with his big muppet-like dog when he think no one is watching, hiking at the WaDuke or Eno River State Park
