Welcome
People have always called me Patio, but to be honest I’m a bigger fan of decks & balconies.
I was born AD. Yes, that’s a religious joke.
When I learned how hard it was to become an astronaut I decided to focus on negative space and layouts instead. That being said, when I was younger I had a space-themed bedroom and MAN do I miss it.
On a trip to Ireland, I fell asleep right before takeoff and woke up as we landed. It was as if the entire flight never happened.
Based on these life experiences, I’m just a guy that believes in aliens and time travel.
And I’m great with Photoshop.
