I listen to all that music listed to the left, and I teach bagpipes full time. I have a website, www.seattlepiper.com and I direct a youth pipe band www.nwjpb.org and I also have an Scottish/Irish acoustic group called Piper's Creek www.myspace.com/piperscreek . Other than that I like to collect vintage clothing and other old junk, hang out with my dog and go out to see bands. Yep.
Shopaholic.
I eat my vegetables.
Always up for hilarious hijinx.
I have roller skates (four-wheelers).
I like old bikes.
I don't like board games, card games or mind games.
I tend to stay up too late most nights.
I'm the tall skinny kid.

I've lived in Seattle my whole life and I think it's great. Cold and rainy? Yeah, but only for nine months out of the year.
