..

I love music, books and nature.
I'm pretty obsessed with the ocean and can't stop writing songs about it.
I have a band of incredibly skilled musicians but I play most shows alone with my guitar.
I like to be alone.
I cook a lot of meals for people and I love to laugh with my friends... often and until it hurts.
I spend at least a couple hours everyday reading.
I like to travel and give the books I finish on the road to random strangers.
I am a realist with romantic tendencies. My eyes are always open, except when they are closed.
I am always moving, except when I am still.
