Underestimate me, I dare you

About Me


I'm in State College PA, where I'll be for two years, starting Fall of 2007. I am a master student in acoustics at Penn State. Next summer my plans are up in the air. I could be touring with an awesome band, doing research, finding myself, singing in Nashville, or any combination of those things. Life has a funny way of giving you the things you want. It's only a matter of knowing yourself to get yourself in the right places. PA is the right place for me right now. You gotta go where the people are great. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Cali, but I don't think I am coming back.
I had a hamster named Buddy who would stick his head out of his wheel while running, and the crossbar would constantly hit him on the back of his head. But, he never got discouraged, and kept going back in there getting hit in the head. That's kinda how I used to feel in college.
In a nutshell...yup thats me...a nut.
