Which way should we go now?

About Me

My name is Brandon. Life has changed a lot for me in the last couple of years, for the better. I used to play bass for Snowden and Cassavetes. I've been taking an extended break from music and focusing on my wife and new house. We just bought our first place in East Atlanta, and it has been a lot of work. I am passionate about food and drink and love to cook. I enjoy movies, video games, and photography. My wife and I travel as often as we can. I have been feeling the music bug lately, so who knows if I'll get back into it soon ..

Hawaii in Pictures

Our first stop in Hawaii was Waikiki Beach in Honululu, Oahu. We stayed in a pretty nice hotel, by my standards, with a swell view. Waikiki Beach was incredibly beautiful, if a bit overcrowded....
