About Me


Here's me on Kilborn:

Here's me live in Phoenix:
Listen to some of my friends:
Jessie Baylin is my favorite singer. I've been lucky enough to pen a song or two with her.
Robert Gomez , my former band mate and tour mate this past Summer.
Voices in Your Head band of another former bandmate Jesse C. and the lovely Mafalda . They are currently taking Portugal by storm.
Brandon Rogers has sat in with me multiple times to belt out the harmony part on "How Many Times". You can hear the song I helped out on, "One Night" on his profile.
Rob Wilkerson and I had a short-lived quintet when I was in New York. If I were playing saxophone as much as I used to I would want to sound like Rob Dub, aka Rabp.
John Chin and I have played music and basketball together in Texas and New York.
Midlake used to rehearse down the street from me in Denton, TX. McKenz and I spent many a night terrorizing New York and LA since those days.
311 , the band of the brother.

Marylandfarmer!

I feel like the NBA playoffs are at least as long as the Democratic Primary process. Unfortunately the Lakers are looking at a Hillary-style deficit if they don't pull out some serious mojo in game t...

Faux Paws

As often as possible I make it over to my neighborhood tennis courts to hit some balls with a friend. We usually play five games to eleven, we don't serve to start off, it's more like table tennis wi...
