About Me: I’m a 41 year old male raised in the Bay Area. I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, photography, gardening, movies, cooking, hiking, and camping. I’m laidback but prefer a clean, quiet living environment. I’m looking for a roommate who values tidiness and peacefulness. I typically play guitar for about 40 minutes a day, mostly before nightfall, and at a reasonable volume.
I’m currently working in downtown Oakland during the week, but will likely be working in the city eventually or possibly remote. I have a shy tortoiseshell cat who spends most of her time under my bed and prefers not to interact with other cats. If you have a pet, they should be fine, but please note she’s not super friendly with other cats. I also have a very derpy tuxedo cat who is the exact opposite and will want to sit on your lap if possible and usually wants to play if you're up for it.
