About Me

I'm the sort of guy who loves to laugh and make people laugh...don't expect a serious moment to stay that way around me for long.

I'm the bassist [and only member] for the band Shyfter...I'm not that good now, but I hope to change that in the future.

I enjoy hanging out with good friends...and I love making more good friends.

I'm a college student in Nebraska...there's a lot of wind and corn there.

I'll dress like a cowboy one day, a metalhead the next, and like a biker on the day after that...just to keep people on their toes.

I have three tattoos and no piercings...I shall be increasing my tattoo count throughout life, but I don't know about piercings.

I love to talk about anything and everything...no topic is taboo with me.

Long story short: if you want to be my friend, I want to be yours...don't be shy.
