About Me

I'm a Seattle based musician specializing in small time auto repair and hand drawn graphics. Generally I only fix my close associates cars when they've got smaller maintenance issues be they belts, hoses, brakes, filters etc... remove and replace scenarios you could say. I can change a flat pretty quick-like. As a musician I play Electric Bass, some Double Bass, lots of Drums and lots of Nylon Guitar. I also write tunes and compose weirdo musics for my self-enjoyment. Some of the more notables I've worked with in varying capacities are: Wayne Horvitz, Danny Barnes, Steve Moore, Skerik, Greg Anderson, Randall Dunn, SUNN0))), Eyvind Kang, Carl Blau, Mel Dettmer, Milky Burgess, Jim Davis, Brad Mowen, Kinski, Bill Horist, Tim Young, Trey Spruance, Dylan Carlson, Jason Merculief, Mike Dillon, Tucker Martine, Karen Pernick, Johanna Khunin, John Schuller, The Sun City Girls, and many more... Currently I perform with the following live acts: SPOILS, THE STARES, EARTH, MASTER MUSICIANS of BUKKAKE, BILL PATTON & the CREDENTIALS. ~~ I draw and do graphics as well. Usually band posters and logos and such. Mostly for friends and/or for myself... Alright, have yerselves a very nice day and check my calendar once in a while for goings on around the globe::: SeeYa!
