What I do at Peak: Studio manager and editor in the Seattle
video studio.
What I do when I'm not at Peak: I am an avid student of
West African music.
Dream job (other than being at Peak for the rest of my career):
If
I dreamt of doing
something else, I’d be on the road to doing it! Although, someday I would
love to have Alton Brown’s job on the Food Network.
Pet peeve:When guys talk on the phone in the bathroom. Being
called a
‘videographer’.
Favorite book(s):Walt Wangerin’s “The Book of the Dunn Cow”,
Dave Eggers’ “What is the What”
Favorite movie(s):Stardust, About a Boy, Chocolat, Rounders,
the Bourne Series, Dan in Real Life; this list makes me look like a dork.
Maybe thats why I dropped out of film school, I’m adamantly not a fan of
Kubrick or Wes Anderson.
Favorite music/artist(s):Over the Rhine, Ali Farke Toure,
Madeline
Peyroux, Sufjan Stevens, Famadou Konate, The Ditty Bops, Iron and
Wine, Mark Knopfler, Pearl Jam..... how many favorites am I allowed?

I Met

Teams you cheer: The underdog. I am always looking for the
comeback story.
Secret talent: If I have talent I cant keep it secret! I
am quite capable in
the kitchen, and would like nothing more than to demonstrate that talent
for you. Just let me know when you can come over, I promise it’ll beworth
your while.
Favorite vacation: I can’t wait to go to Guinea with my wife - lots of
drumming and dancing, while immersed in the culture with the one I love.
The perfect day:Ingredients - Good people, lots of drumming
and
dancing, fair weather, great food, strong coffee, a little scotch and a nice
cigar.
