About Me

I was raised in a small town called New Berlin, Texas. I spent most of my time curling my hair and singing in front of the mirror to songs like "I'm the Man" by Anthrax and well...any song by Duran Duran or Madonna.After high school I moved to San Marcos to go to college. I made friends with Jason Pinchback, who eventually introduced me to Robert Livar (see the Bombasta myspace site). Along with David Gratz, Rene Rodriguez, and Jason Decuir....we became the Humblebums. I tried SUPER hard to be the drummer in the band...but, I really, really sucked and was replaced by my neighbor, Garry Franklin (see the Install myspace site). ;o) As a matter of fact, I replaced myself with Garry and really needed something to do in the band. So, I started to sing and play percussion (which I wasn't so bad at) ;o).Eventually I left the band, moved out of town, and came back to Austin to play with Ciccialina. Garry Franklin, Curtis Saunier (see the Video Killed the Radio Star myspace site), Chris Huber and I performed in Ciccialina for a few years before we went our separate ways.I continue to sing on my own material, as well as material by the band OHN. I also continue to record with Jason Decuir and Chris Huber.I've been so lucky to play with some of the best musicians in the world (as far as I am concerned)!!!!! Please check out their myspace sites!
