I love music. I'm a musician: guitar player and a singer/songwriter. I love listening to music (see my list below). Really, I love anything art. I love photography, though I haven't been dabbling much with it since I've been at Musician's Institute. I sometimes draw and love to write. For me, creation is the best outlet. It is what makes me feel alive. I am a rationalist and a materialist (not in reference to material possessions), or as Dennett puts it, I'm a bright. The most important aspect of my life, my greatest pride and joy, is my beautiful and wonderful fiance Jessie. "You mess with her, you'll see a man get mean."
