About Me

I was born in Los Angeles. I live in Los Angeles. I went to school outside Los Angeles. I worked for a long time, most recently here . Now I am back in school. I am in the Mae Shi . I think about music way too much. I talk about music way too much. I used to work at the UCB Theatre . I'm married to this person. I'm trying to start a new band. Got some cool things on the horizon. Really out-of-date design/writing portfolio here.

My Interests
