ABOUT ME

I am AN Octopus in an ocean of ideas.
I am A Tiger in a jungle of apathy.
I am A Ronin locked in eternal battle with the devil at the crossroads of form + function.
I am not at all this melodramatic or poetically grandiose, but I do love to bullshit and tell tall tales.
Island boy. Navy raised. Bay Area Grown. 49er Faithful. Dub Nation. Black & Orange. Chef Wannabe. Gear Head. Retired Speed Demon. Proud Geek. GoT S8 Hater. Old School HipHop. Roots Reggae. Classic Rock. Soul R&B. Deep Thoughts. Shallow Hal. Simply Complicated.
My name is Terence CATindig, I was born in the year of the Tiger and I'm a big carnivore , but if you asked me “if you were an animal what animal would you be?” I’d say an octopus because they are fast learners that can blend in anywhere and love to get their tentacles into everything.
I am currently a freelance creative leader/ art director/ designer seeking a new land to protect, a new home to enrich and a new people to inspire.
I also really like to cook and travel.
