I have traveled and moved around quite a lot in the past 8 or 9 years. I've lived in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Perth Australia, Colorado (Denver, Boulder and a few cities in between), and New York City. I'm living in Denver right now, it's my 2nd stint here. I have no idea how much longer I'll be here, and I don't know where I might end up next. I just kinda like to play it by ear.
My biggest passions in life are travel, music and photography. So far I've been to about 15 countries around the world and about 40 of the 50 states. I'm sure I'll keep traveling more as the years go on.As for music, the guitar is my main instrument and I love to play when I have time, but I also play a little bass and a little piano. I'd love to get a piano and really get into it, but it gets hard to have a piano when ya move as often as I do. Not to mention, they're not exactly easy to fit in an apartment.
I'm also constantly listening to music, LOTS of different kinds, and I'm always on the lookout for more good music. Living in Denver is amazing for people who love music. There are tons of shows, lots of amazing up and coming local bands, and hey... we've got Red Rocks! Best venue ever!
A few years ago I really started getting into Photography. I love it! Things have started taking off for me, especially my landscape work, and I'm doing what I can do keep it going. I also really enjoy shooting live bands. I've managed to soot a lot of really good bands like Fiona Apple, Damien Rice, The Fray, Duncan Sheik, Nelly Furtado, and lots more.
Through my travels I've taken an insane amount of pictures. In particular during my last trip to Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand. That's where my passion for photography really took off. If you want to see a few of my pictures, check out my site

Let me know what you think.
In addition to playing music, for several years I had been working in the music business getting myself involved in every side of the business that I possibly could... major label work, independent label work, artist management, venue management, marketing, publicity, retail, and I even went on a major national tour for a little while with Britney Spears. Yeah she's a bit of an oddball, but she was always nice enough to me.
Right now I'm concentrating on getting a few businesses off the ground. My photography business, a web development business, and a marketing business. We'll see where they go from here.
