I've spent the last decade collecting names the way other people collect stamps: one for insurance forms, one for house shows, one for the group chat, one for the stage. Depending on the day I'm treating a patient in San Francisco, untangling a surveillance dataset for the state, or standing somewhere far from home with a passport that's run out of room.

The through-line, if there is one, is that I like figuring out systems (bodies, bureaucracies, backcountry roads), and I like people who are a little too much. Ask me about the time I nearly missed a flight, or don't, and just assume it's a good story.
