Hi, I'm Pat Castaldo.

I run the Land Gallery and co-founded buyolympia.com.

I'm a really lucky guy. I've got an amazing, beautiful wife that plays rollerderby and a handsome, genius son.

I live in Portland and spend time drinking coffee during the day and great beer at night. Oh, and yeah, I love to eat.

I take pictures and keep them on flickr and instagram.

In my free time, I like to play pinball. I mean, like a lot of pinball. In fact, I've played in more tournaments in the last three years than anyone else in the world.

I also design award winning Mac software, mostly relating to scales, mailing and shipping.

Back in the old-days, I used to live in Olympia, Washington and was the chair of the Planning Commission and sat on the Heritage Commission. I went to Evergreen, wrote some COBOL for the state, and worked on the design for quite a few album covers.

Lately, I've taken to making animated GIFs of my friends.

I'm not sure why my bio sounds reads like something on a dating site, but, oh well.
