About Me

I'm 25 with a Master's of Science in Molecular Biology from WSU. The title of my graduate thesis was "Determining the effects of Alanine 47 in Synnechococcus sp. PCC6301 Ribulose,1-5 bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase". I'm a single parent dad to an amazing 1 yr old, Connor. He brightens up my life. I'm a huge supporter of local music. I've been in a number of bands (Trendy, Faded Within, Closed Casket, Seconds from Disaster, the Cult Zeroes) and lately have been doing solo acoustic sets around town. I'm currently playing trumpet in the ska/punk band the Sixty Second Quickies. Im also the head street team coordinator for DriveThru records in Indiana(www.drivethrurecords.com)
We're looking for a trombone player.http://www.myspace.com/thesixtysecondquickies
