I'm wrapping up a really wonderful two-year stint in New York City, one of the most amazing places on earth. I came here because of a cool job opportunity, and I’ve enjoyed almost every minute of it and did my best to enjoy what Manhattan has to offer. The best part of this sojourn—by far—was reconnecting with so many East Coast friends. But my family, my girlfriend, and most of my personal tribe are in the Pacific Northwest, and I’ll be headed home in about a month. I’ll be moving to Portland, Oregon. I’ve always enjoyed the Rose City, I have many friends there, I’ve been totally impressed for decades by the passionate and incredibly talented music community in that town, and it’s within striking distance of Seattle. I don’t speak fluent hipster, but I’m ready to step up to that challenge. Really, really excited about the next chapter.
