Music is my biggest passion. I love travelling (locally, nationally, or overseas), and outdoor activities like running, biking, hiking, and skiing (snow or water). I also enjoy eating out... mexican, italian, chinese, or standard American fare.
We've also put out four compilations featuring performances by local musicians live in KXCI's Studio 2A on Locals Only. Click here for more info on all of the great KXCI compilations.
