About Me

I am 31 years old and work for a Seattle based indie record label. I am passionate about music, friends and family (not in that particular order). I don't take life too seriously. I love to make people laugh (if that person happens to be me, then so be it!). I miss college...the friends, the radio station, some professors, the Up and Up Tavern, the town. I love dogs...any dogs (but I don't have one of my own). My roommate thinks I have ADD. I don't know if that is necessarily true, but I do have a hard time sitting still from time to time. I just like to be active. I am a morning person and a night owl. I don't go anywhere without my iPod. I was anti iPod when they came out because I love my CD and Vinyl collection. I love to turn someone into a fan of a band or artist they didn't previously know. I love sports.
I am on the Board of Trustees for the CCFA Northwest Chapter . The record label I work for is Sarathan Records .
