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.

What I’m looking for in a roommate:

Preferences

-Probably late-30s and older - I'm open to younger applicants.
-Professional, student or creative/artist.
-Some roots or community in the Boston area.
-Comfortable with direct communication about household issues.
-Open to sharing a meal, seeing a movie, a board game etc, from time to time, in order to get to know each other and enjoy living together. And also a laid-back attitude about us living independent lives at home.

Required

-No pets.
-No smoking.
-Sober-adjacent at home - a few drinks a month would be fine.
-LGBTQ+, or straight and queer-positive.
