About Me

I just moved back to Salt Lake to take a REAL JOB! Well, sort of. I am designing video games with some of my best friends. I get paid for it, so it counts as a real job... I just finished a BS in experiential education, like anyone knows what that is. I am hopelessly addicted to music and my computer. I listen to music almost constantly. If I'm not listening to music, it's because I am playing my guitar, the piano, spinning records, or someone has made me take off my headphones. I blame my musical obsessions on my parents for starting me in piano lessons at age 7. I am also VERY laid-back, almost to a fault. This makes me a horrifying procrastinator. I love my mountain bike and my longboard. I like to think I'm pretty funny, but I guess you'd have to know me.
It's me and EvilTrev in a colorful haze... Stream or download my latest DJ mix HERE . I'm calling this one "Boneswords!" It was recorded live and unedited on April 10. Imagine me dancing around with a PBR in hand while you listen...

My Interests

First of all: LEARNING! Also: DJ-ing, digital audio engineering, guitar, video games, mountain biking, rafting, mischief, mind expanding experiences, procrastinating, working 20 hours a week, Lethal-o, world domination, and inappropriate dancing

I'd like to meet:

A black bear in 1 on 1 combat to the death.
I think God is humanities' imaginary friend. I would like to meet this God though...

Music:

I am hopelessly addicted to music! I believe studying music makes you smarter. I love Rock, Metal, Electronic, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz. Pretty much everything, as long as it wasn't created by someone who wears cowboy hats. My current favorite genre: Techy electro funk! Is that a genre? I don't know, but that is what I have been typing in search engines when shopping for vinyl. My music collection contains disproportionately high numbers of albums by: Paul Oakenfold, Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Bruce Hack, Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, Busta, Morcheeba, Clutch, Marilyn Manson, NIN, SOAD, TOOL, Butthole Surfers, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Tom Petty and The White Stripes.

Movies:

Half Baked and Conan the Barbarian are my all time favorites. I also love romantic comedies, because of their realism.

Television:

I'll start watching TV as soon as it stops bombarding me with advertisements for shit no one needs. I have a deep love for Arrested Development, but I'll only watch it on DVD. I wish Gob was my brother.

Books:

The last good book I read was Desert Solitaire, by Edward Abbey. It speaks to me, we'll leave it at that. Currently I am wading through The Computer Music Tutorial. By far the heaviest book I have ever tackled. Seriously, it weighs, like, 15 pounds!

Heroes:

Sasquatch is my hero. I've always wanted to avoid humanities' attempts to verify my existence while cultivating the belief that I DO actually exist, even without offering any proof! Plus, I'm pretty sure that Sasquatch has met a black bear in 1 on 1 combat to the death.
