About Me

News:

I grew up playing the guitar and singing from a fairly young age - learning a little keyboards along the way, viva la trumpet, a splash of drums, and playing bass in the band First Name Basis. I'm the former guitar player / vocalist for the local band j.a.t.o. Now flying solo, I'm getting some air traffic control from Brad Nate and some ground support from Morgan Young. Thanks for the help guys.

I love my wife Emily, and we have a son born March of 2006 named Brock, who is the cutest little kid in the world, hands down - see my pictures, it proves it. We're expecting our second on December 26th, 2008! I still sell old wood to rich people (with Trestlewood ) and I enjoy what I do (but not enjoying the travel as much as I used to!). I have my Associates degree from Penn State and am working on my Bachelor's at the University of Missouri (go Tigers!). Me, Emily, Brock, baby peanut and our Jack Russell Terrier named Archie (destroyer of universes) live in Spanish Fork.

The show must go on...

Ahh... breathing room. I've enjoyed my time off of music since j.a.t.o. broke up, and I've been arranging matchsticks into shapes of people, places and things and then lighting them on fire. Ok, ...
