About Me

Hello all and thank you for stopping by my page. After a year I finally updated my page with some new songs and I'll do my best to keep up with the site as much as possible from now on.About me: I was born and raised in Austin, TX. When I graduated from high school I had the good fortune to be able to attend the University of North Texas where I am currently studying under Mr. Jim Riggs, who is in his last year of tenure. I have been blessed with the opportunity to play with all kinds of extraordinary musicians while I've been at UNT some of which are playing on the tracks listed above. I have one more year left at UNT before I go and see the world (or sooner if the opportunity presents itself). I currently play in the 2 o'clock lab band and I am involved several other projects outside of school (Little Brian, Backside Pick, Team Deathstryke: all with myspace pages!). Ok...that's it. Any questions feel free to send me a message or shoot me an email at [email protected]
