About Me

ABOUT ME NOW: Physical therapist by day, musician by night. I used to be a gymnast (ask me and i'll flip for you) My music serves as the great escape from everything, hopefully it can be yours as well........................................................ .......................................................MY MUSIC: Currently expanding to encompass every genre in what i write, i like to consider my music currently as thoughtful, piano based pop...although you may hear some rock, jazz, electronica, and classical in the mix as well........................................................ .....................................................GENERAL : I hate sitting still and activities that include sitting still such as reading, watching TV, or movies. I like to be active, fidgeting, drumming, singing, playing the piano, working out, making hip hop beats and pretending i'm an R&B singer. There's also a part of me that is intensely drawn to nature. Stick me outside in the woods and i'm a happy camper. ............................................................ ......................................................Well I finally have some myspace banners! This is thanks to my new found friend dixy, who is a wizard at photography/photo editing, and she made these out of her generosity; you are truly a kind soul and i thank you.
If you want to put this banner on your myspace page, just copy the text in this box and paste it somewhere into your myspace profile! This is for the above banner where i'm sitting in the pipe.
Same thing for this one, copy and paste, this is for the one where i'm leaning against the tree and smiling.
Be sure to check out my buddy Ryan Asher who i play music with whenever we're in the same state, which lately isn't often. He's a top rate musician and an all around good guy.
