George Panos Tsiolis

Hi, I’m George.
I am highly disagreeable and delusionally optimistic. I am a proud descendant of my four grandparents, each of whom immigrated from Greece to Canada without any education, money, or understanding of English. I am less proud of, but still attached to, my hometown Toronto Maple Leafs.
I am a staunch libertarian and acutely aware of the echo chambers I subject myself to. I am as dry a humorist as they come. I am a believer in God, science, and the forces that exist between the two and beyond our comprehension.
I am a major health and fitness nut. I’m a big fan of puzzles, even bigger fan of Chelsea, and a much lesser fan of small talk.
I am an amateur enthusiast of the work of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Nic Cage, Vince Vaughn, Yorgos Lanthimos, Chris Nolan, The Safdies, Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, U2, Kings of Leon, ATCQ, Dylan, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Kanye, Biggie, Led Zeppelin, Pollock, Koons, XCOPY, Amaan Jahangir, and diewiththemostlikes. And Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, Carl Jung, and Teddy Santis.
This is part of who I am. I’ve also written a slightly longer blurb about what I’ve done, which you can read here.
