I’m a guy in my mid-40s. I’ve been living here since I moved back to Boston in 2024. I work in the performing arts and as an audience services associate, and I volunteer regularly. I grew up in Western Massachusetts and occasionally I visit friends out there on the weekends. My family lives in the midwest and the DC area.
Currently (re)watching: The Exorcist TV series. Favorite Avenger: Shang-Chi. A book rec: Sarah Ruhl’s 100 Essays I Don’t Have Time to Write. Favorite day-trip: Salisbury Beach Boardwalk on the North Shore, esp in the off-season.
