About Me

First of all, my name is Mark, and that in itself should sum me up, but since lots of people don't know me, here goes. I play the saxophone, and am currently in the saxophone studio at CU, where I'm studying music ed. The environment has opened me up to classical saxophone and jazz literature, but my favorite music is a tie between punk and ska. I love going to shows, partying, playing ultimate frisbee, or just chillin', stuff along those lines. I try to be a nice guy, but nevertheless a lot gets lost in translation. Oh, and yes, I do like kitties, just getting that out of the way now.Bad Religion - New Dark Ages

My Interests

My sax is probably number one, its pretty sweet. Anything else with music falls right behind that probably, especially going to shows and moshing/skanking like its no one else's business. Other than that, my main interest is to have a good time and enjoy life to a good deal of its potential. I'm a fan of indoor climbing, frisbee, movies, hanging out...ok you get the point...I like to do stuff.

Sophomore year in review
