About Me

"Here I am above palm trees, so straight and tall." hmmm... I'm a fun, laid back kid from the mid west. I've lived in southern California for 5 years now. I try to enjoy a nice, easy-going life. I am very ambitious, dedicated, and driven in everything that I put my energy into. I consider myself to hold good morals and values. I am a people watcher. There is so much to learn from life around you if you just sit back, observe, and listen. I am fueled by creativeness and am very hands on. I appreciate the hard work and time that goes into building and developing something and getting to watch it progress. I enjoy writing and playing music. Nothing beats the fulfillment of playing music and creating an experience with the people around you. I love doing things outdoors...exploring, going to the beach, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, long boarding etc. When it's all said and done, I would like to know that I've made an impact on peoples lives in some way. "I am but one small instrument..."

My Interests

music, touring, marketing/development, percussion, traveling/studying abroad, history, writing, art/visual media. family & friends. yoga and meditation. german and italian language. medicine and its future advancements. the human body. staying fit. sports. also a supporter of wildlife and its conservation.

I'd like to meet:



"He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing, understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees...The more knowledge that is inherent in a thing, the greater the love...Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes."

-Paracelsus
