Day job: Booze, music, and management at Lay It Out Events/The Source. 

Sexy super power: Speed reading—I’ll finish that entire book series you recommended by our second date. 

Single or taken: Currently unattached. 

Who is a your nerd icon? Chuck Palahniuk—brilliant writer, a little twisted, and SUPER hot. 

Star Wars, Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica? Is it ok to not like any of them? Why are there no questions about pizza?!

Nerdiest turn-on: Glasses and a great collection of vinyl. 

What’s the sexiest nerdy thing—or nerdiest sexy thing—you’ve ever done? I’ve got multiple tattoos based on literature. Since books and tattoos are incredibly sexy, I think this counts.
