About Me

i'm in grad school . if you want to know what i do, ask.
i make sounds for lady of spain and shore leave , and sometimes i get asked to do fun sessions for artists like joya . most of these musical endeavors involve the bass guitar, but i generally whine until i'm given a microphone too.
i love and coach volleyball .

lady of spain just finished and released a record. you can listen to samples on our myspace page and buy the album at the five prime records website. we are also on last.fm if you are a fan of that lovely place.

attention bands: please listen to my bands and add them for your myspace viral networking endeavors. if i like you, i'll add you, and if i haven't found you yet, i will.

My Interests

recording stuff. electrospray mass spectrometry. fluorescence microscopy. developing ridiculously unorthodox volleyball offenses. compost piles.
