I'm hoping you'll ask me about
Why every listing I show has "good bones" and what that actually means. Usually it's the load-bearing walls, occasionally it's a lie 🏛️😌
My most useless talent
I can tell what decade a kitchen was redone from one cabinet handle. Nobody has ever asked, but I'm ready 🔍🚪
I'd love to hear your story about
The last time you completely changed your mind about something. Not a small thing, a real flip. I'll trade you mine for it, and fair warning, I'll probably argue with yours a little.
A compliment I still think about
client said her yard feels like her. yours next?
A skill I picked up in the strangest way
knife skills, from a summer at my uncle's stall.
A skill I picked up in the strangest way
knitting, from a lab mate during a 9 hour field delay
Something I'll never get tired of hearing
wait you made this, that one, every time, like yes i did and it's still warm and i'm covered in flour and honestly you can have the heel if you keep saying it
A hill I'll die on
Breakfast for dinner after a long week at the bank absolutely counts as taking care of yourself. Waffles agrees, mostly because Waffles gets a bite 🧇🐾
The last photo I took, and the story behind it
A single sunflower in an old glass bottle on my windowsill. I grabbed it on the way home after a rough week, and Waffles has been guarding it ever since 🌻🐈⬛
My most useless talent
I can guess a dog's name from across the park, Clementine's the only one I ever missed
A Sunday that went perfectly wrong
So it poured right before my tennis match and Clementine got loose and we ended up soaked at a taco truck and honestly best set I never played
The pettiest thing I've ever done
A rude client's new logo has a tiny Biscuit hidden in it. He hasn't noticed, haha.
I'm hoping you'll ask me about
Color. Why one blue feels calm and another looks cheap. Sit close and I'll explain.
My most irrational fear
Escalators. I've carried patients down four flights and I still won't step on one
Best travel story
Tent flooded night one. Slept in my car and still danced all weekend 😂
Worst idea I've ever had
Signing up for a 6 a.m. spin class the morning after a punk show. I made it through the whole ride, but my ears were still ringing and I clipped out of the pedals twice.
Teach me something about
Your hamstrings, haha. Most of the back pain I see at work starts there, so stretch them after you sit all day and thank me later.
If my life had a laugh track, it would go off when
i spend all night making a five-piece band sound perfect, then go home and can't get my own little speaker to stop crackling
Something I'm weirdly proud of
every sunday i portion out barbecue leftovers into labeled containers. my fridge is better organized than half the soundboards i've worked on
One place I want to go but haven't, and why
the outer banks to sail, and don't tell me the gulf is the same thing because it isn't.
Change my mind about
golf is a real sport. walk 18 holes in louisiana heat carrying a bag and then tell me its not, i dare you
Ask me about the time I
Got Waffles groomed and he came home offended he ignored me for a whole day.
What my pet would say about me
She sits on the kitchen floor with me after every shift, and she shares her toast.
Don't hate me if I
Hum along to every song in a bar and then explain why the kick drum is mixed wrong. I can't help it, it's my job and also a sickness.
The most me thing I did this year
So I rebuilt a whole carburetor on my kitchen floor and it ran... okay it ran for one block. One glorious block. I cried a little.
A small gesture that would make my day
Coffee waiting after a red-eye, no questions asked
What my pet would say about me
She's home for once, wake her up at 4am
