About me:

I believe that I'll do something great with this life but I don't know what it is. Well, I have an idea, but it's probably wrong. Writing books, starting companies, being all in on an art gallery and bar, slapping people, and rallying friends to new adventures are a couple of my favorite accomplishments so far. New plans include building a cork bridge to New Zealand, creating a confessional hot dog booth, self-removing socks, taxi cam, creating the ungameable game, a new zodiac, creating a 12-step program, and instigating more dares and bets amongst friends.
