About Me

I was born, I did some stuff, and then I went to sleep...
I love music: I love to play; I love to listen. I love enjoying life, and I love laughing. In the midst of these pleasures Ive still got questions and struggles. My artistic expressions often explore the tensions of these co-existing realities in the illumination of Truth. I find it valuable to connect with people through emotion, humor, and honesty; this is a high ideal to me: meaningful connection; this is my understanding of relationship and humanity. I hope whatever I create plays a part in this.
I hope also to not take myself too seriously.
