As this site develops I hope that it will be a reflection of who I am and what I’m about, so I’m not planning on writing a lot about myself, but I will take this opportunity to introduce myself…

I was born in southern California, the only child of adoring parents. I’ve joked with my folks that they ruined my career as a novelist by completely failing to scar me emotionally. They raised me in Carmel, CA, a beautiful, idyllic, sheltered community that I was all too eager to leave as soon as I got a chance. I went to school on the other side of the country, spent a year in London, met many truly amazing people, and ended up back in Carmel with a degree in philosophy and, shockingly, a great job.

It was a life without any significant challenges, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was settling. I knew I needed to experience a lot more than what my little town had to offer (and my time away made me realize I was a city boy), so my buddy Brian and I escaped paradise a second time and drove to Seattle. I’ve been up here for the better part of three years, and it has been a more rewarding adventure than I could have imagined.

Weekdays, I ride a bus across Lake Washington to my job at the internet arm of a big software company*.

I am 25 years old.

I’m Joey. Nice to meet you.
