I lived a pretty nomadic life until one day in 2011.  I was hitchhiking all across the country, and passed through New York City for the first time.  I've barely been able to escape ever since.

I'm a geek for history, and especially the grimy, uncouth, and audacious history of ye olde New Amsterdam (that's New York to you, buster).

Haunted by a fanatical interest in Alchemy, I can burn your ears down on all topics adjacent to it, from the history and development of modern science to the world's mystical traditions, both orthodox and obscure.  

I've been giving tours in NYC distilleries for a decade.  I'm currently making comics with a gifted neuroscientist to explain the mysteries of the mind, graphically!  And I am also a tattoo artist of 15 years.
