I struggle every day to open up too…

Most of my life people have seen me as outgoing, extroverted, super social. I may have been accused of talking too much more than once–it’s something I still actively work on. I am the guy that friends say, “yeah everywhere we go he seems to know somebody…” about. But, something I’ve realized in the past few years is that I’m actually not an extrovert. I sort of molded myself / was molded into an…

2018 was freaking awesome!! Top 9 is cool, but I decided to a Top 10 and choose my own favorite moments from this past year: 1. Me in West Texas on a large rock traveling with my favorite travel companion @k_astra_music — I also love that hat. 2. Making awesome memories with Kristin all year—specifically in this gif thing going and taking part in @walkerlukens music video 3. A year in learning how to take phone selfies better—also more West Texas travels with Kristin — I swear that area is like my spirit’s charger. We will be going back again soon! 4. So much awesome food all year, this was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life. Little Italian place in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, Pittsburgh is pretty rad too. 5. Embracing our spirit animals of not giving a F*ck more and more this year. 6. This wonderful kind and loving Wookiee dog has been the best thing ever in our lives. Love ya Winnie. 7. Playing a lead in a film with an amazingly warm and generous ensemble cast and an awesome crew—as well as some industry veterans that were so incredible throughout the process @mystic.cowboy @don_jeanes @kirapozehl @tom_lagleder @taracooperartist @charelsatlas @daniell3von @plaiddysen and a bunch of others. Though there were ups and downs it felt like working with family. I also got to do a little stunt driving so that was rad. 8. Worked on several indie projects and got the privilege to work on my friends @duncancoe and @elenaisrad first feature @arfonmovie as well as helped co-produce and AD (and act a little) for my friends @annaschatte and @calvinmillar ...all insanely talented and amazing artists. I also continued working on my own content and am stoked to release a whole slew of stuff in 2019 9. Increasingly getting more steady VO work—getting paid to make voices has been a childhood dream of mine after I read Mel Blanc’s name on the credits of the old toons. 10. Learning to listen to the suggestions of others more and more ... especially my loved ones ... more specifically Kristin. We spent last night working on our first couples “vision board”—she’s opened me up to all sorts of stuff I never allowed myself before. Here’s lookin at you 2019! #newyear https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEcAhgFcKx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=195jfjq4795vb

I wrote little poems to myself everyday. Sometimes I share them, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes we know exactly where our aches come from. Sometimes pain doesn’t have one source. #haiku #poems #alittleart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0eDlUlfD8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z2co81zky3ul

So...I’m changing my attitude. A lot of scary and disappointing things happening in America and the world right now. So—here’s a goofy perspective of my own thoughts about me....and you! When @kristin_astourian and I first started hanging out — pre dating phase she sent me a picture of Lion Heart and I secretly loved that she thought of me that way....I can come off quite brash at times, but I’ve got a heart like an egg, it breaks easily. 🦁 #memyselfandi #lionheart #thisisme https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7w4XIlRoI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83evg16ykq1b
