About Me

I play bass in the bands The Dalloways and King Sugar. I enjoy music, art, and movies. The Dalloways King Sugar I also play with Caribou Addiction .I'm a pretty laid back dude who strives to enjoy life and people. My favorite color is blue and I like the Lakers, Dodgers, and St. Louis Rams. I love the coast, and try to go there whenever I can. I enjoy making music with my intrepid bandmates, whom I am thankful for. I'm a creative person, and enjoy going to museums (though I haven't in a while) and live shows.
