an attempt to rapidly compartmentalize my life . born and raised in Houston, Texas by my 2 great parents. I have a sister, Katie, who just graduated from UT and also just got engaged. I have a dog, Murphy, who I refer to as my son. I love comics, cartoons, toys and other kid stuff, yet I curse like a sailor and have been known to make jokes that are deemed to "cross the line." I've been in LA for over 2 years and can't imagine living anywhere else.
