When not at Desert Bus, he can be found:
Working crew for LoadingReadyRun & hosting shows for Synaptic Chaos Theatre.
Special Skills:
I play guitar. I play saxophone. I do really good improv. I do pretty good impressions. I overreach. I underwhelm. I use too many spaces after periods.
I also really like to sing, so I hope we can fold some of that in there. I’m keen to see what new J-Pop songs people ask me to play.
He’s a total geek for:
Anime. Wait, I mean *good anime*, Nintendo games, Discworld novels, Barenaked Ladies, Mercedes-Benz (maybe just half-nerd)
Claim to Fame:
My eyes are *all-naturally* f***ed up
Biggest fear about driving for DB8:
I like to fall asleep when I drive. Cars. IRL.

Celery topped with peanut butter and raisins
Favourite Cheese:
The sharper the cheddar, the beddar
Doesn’t want you to know he listens to:
Polling Rank of ’96 Japan Animation Theme Song
His “moves like Jagger” are more like:
Octodad. And I guarantee I’m not the only person that said this.
Editor’s Note: He totally was.
To prepare for driving the bus he is:
Going to work for eight hours, going home to sleep for five hours, then arriving hungry without having read the instruction manual.
Man, I hope some cool stuff happens on my Zeta shift.
