music curation

I listen to a ton of music -- hip-hop, indie rock, minimal ambient stuff, and Brand New b-sides to remind me of high school.

Kendrick's my favorite rapper, Diplo's stuff is the most consistently interesting to me, and I think Kanye West is the most influential artist of our generation.

I have an ongoing Spotify mix called NOW that's what I call 🔥🔥🔥 . Wrote about my favorite songs of the year of 2018.

Rufus is a 5-year old, 16lb. terrier mix. He came from the SF SPCA and loves parks, beaches, and anywhere he can ham it up. He successfully graduated from puppy kindergarten and pursued further studies to be certified to conduct Pet Assisted Therapy.

He chronicles his adventures on Instagram (@rufusthepup) and he's been on Reddit's front page (r/aww and r/photoshopbattles). Ellen featured him on her Instagram, where he got half a million likes, and he splits his time living with me and Gina Gregory.
