About Me: 
Born and raised in California. Former industrial/metal rock star. Living in NYC since 2000. By day I'm a computer nerd. Outside of work, I play rugby, practice bikram yoga and produce hard club music. I also DJ, travel, cook, design and make out with strangers in the bathroom. I got a cat. I watch Food TV and I make a mean bowl of cereal. But enough about me, let's get dirty!
Best Rugby Moment: 
My best rugby moment was the first game I ever played. It was raining hard when we went out on the pitch. Gotham kicked it off to the other team. They caught it. I went in for the first tackle and immediately got hit in the face. I fell back, looked at the ground and thought, "Got hit in the face. Holy shit. My cherry's popped. FUCK YEAH LET'S DO IT!!!"
Most embarrassing moment: 
I'm yet to really have one. I've been caught blowing people in bathrooms but that doesn't really phase me. I guess the only thing that can really make me blush is if, say, I fart in public or something. I don't know. We'll find out when we get there.
What does participating in GKRFC mean to me?: 
Rugby honestly changed my life. After being dark and angry my whole life, I had to turn my life around into something more positive and productive. Joining the team was exactly what I needed. I made new friends, I became physically active and I developed a better sense of self and accomplishment. I'm so happy to be here.
What would I say to someone thinking of joining?: 
Seriously do it. It changed my life and it will change your's.
