A few interesting things you’d like to share about yourself: When I was young, I used to draw a lot of my own superheroes and create comic books off them. It was my day to night hobby. I even entered a Japanese comics competition with my brother called the “Rising Stars of Manga.” I was a hardcore nerd. Besides that, I love to sing and make voice impressions of Pikachu, Sean Connery, Gollum, and do british accents. I love to window spy on people. I used to live on a high rise and I would peak at people’s windows. It’s amazing how many people leave their curtains open. Yup, I’m a creep.
