MADE IN HOUSTON

Must be a quarter-life crisis... or just a stirring in my soul.

About Me

Born in Houston, live in Arlington, and working my ass off!!!



"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be."
