I have a car, but I have a rule: I don’t drive during the day. I take Metro. It really is a relief, especially because of where I work and where I live. I’d be in deadbolt traffic, but instead I chill on Metro.

I’m from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I moved to L.A. for two simple reasons: I love the weather and I love the ocean. I do miss my two brothers back home, but they come visit often. When they’re in town, we take Metro to Universal CityWalk, Venice, Santa Monica, and the Griffith Observatory. That’s their jam.
