I’m drawn to things that take time—slow cooking, long exposures, songs that don’t resolve right away. I warm up slowly too, but once I do, I’m all in: laughing mid-sentence, flirting without thinking, and handing you something from the kitchen like it’s second nature.

I’m a film photographer, musician, and hopeless audiophile. I’ve lived in France, Italy, and Mexico City—my Spanish is questionable, but my enchiladas are flawless. I cook the way I take photos and fall in love: with slowness, obsession, and too many layers. My playlists swing from Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock to Philip Glass and Patsy Cline.

I grew up backpacking and climbing, and I still ache for the mountains. I love Ansel Adams prints, glowing electron tubes, and moments that feel like secrets. I will probably beat you at Mario Kart.

When I’m with someone, I don’t come in with a plan. I’m open, a little silly, and completely present. I can’t fake chemistry—I need to feel something real. And when it’s there, it’s easy, electric, and like no one else is in the room.

If this makes sense to you, we’ll probably get along. Write me kindly. Tell me your name, something about you, and what you’re hoping for. And please—no surprise calls.
