About me

Industry Student
Location Aurora, Colorado, United States
Introduction Goth is to religion what Punk is to politics. I'm a Gothic renaissance man with a good working knowledge of philosophy and religion, a highly perceptive cultural and media savvy, a wide field of knowledge, a good sense of beauty and aesthetic perception, and a strange but elegant style. This enables me to venture into an eclectic variety of fields indeed.
