About Me

When I was twelve years old I found my mom's old guitar in our basement and I started playing it. It was really old and had only four strings that were really rusty. A couple years later I bought my first guitar and it was great 'cause it actually had six strings. I started writing when I was about fifteen. Not really songs, but just writing for the sake of writing. Six years and a couple dozen notebooks later I decided that it wasn't great, but they all weren't really horrible either. So... here we are.

"...Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time...
