CURRENT MISSION

To make hilarious dances, write stories and work hard.

ABOUT ME

I live in Minneapolis, and I love it. I choreograph with two others and we call ourselves Mad King Thomas. I write and have too many hobbies (I like to make things, ride my bike, drink really good beer, read, take photographs, play board games, lay around and daydream).

I pay the bills with an office job.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing thing I've done in my life is give up my car for a bicycle...leading to me learning way more about my city than I was in my car.

An amazing thing I've seen in my life is the inside of a Mongolian ger, stuffed with tons of smiling people and 13 different dairy products. I was unaware you could make 13 different things from milk!
