About Me

I’ve been playing guitar for 12 years: In that time have been in over 9 bands and collected more than 11 guitars.
I love making music. Playing guitar and writing songs is what makes me sane. I'm also into skateboarding. I'm a sucker for a good walk, and I love being outside. If I had more time I would be on the b-ball court or on the golf course more often. Sometimes I'm deep, so talk to me if you like.
I like going to shows and rocking out to my favorite bands. Usually though, I end up getting mad because I'm not on stage that night. Anyways, I like chilling with my friends, throwing parties and meeting cool and creative people. I'm pretty sarcastic, I like to think that I'm funny as well. I spend all of my time working on music, if not mine someone else's. That's pretty much me at a glance.

True Love.....?

How is it that everyone in Hollywood is 25?

I swear, some people are just delusional. Everyone wants to claim 25 when it's more likely that they are indeed 33 years old. I just had to rant here because it just seems that every 25 year old in ...

I like to hit cracks and fall on my skateboard.

I like to hit cracks and fall on my skateboard. It's true, I always seem to ignore the fact that the sidewalk may have a major imperfection that can cause me pain even when I'm just riding over it. ...
