About Me

Well... I'm a percussionist in a band out of San Francisco. ElfFarmRaffle. We've performed at places in SF and around the Bay such-as Slims, the Great American Music Hall, Red Devil Lounge, the Pound and Pine St. Also in Hollywood at the Viper Room and DragonFly. Even the Coyote Grill over in Nevada. I work hard and play even harder. Always enjoy a night out at the local pubs with friends. Also have been known to tear up the dancefloor at the clubs too! Sometimes like a more quiet night when I can get one. I can be the quiet/shy type or the life of the party, it matters what night you catch me on or what phase the moon is in. Love to travel! Been around the world a few times. Well, if you want to know more about me just ask, that's what MySpace is for right.... use it!
