About Me

I am from New Hampshire, and now I live in Brooklyn. I play the trumpet with a lot of folks, including (but not limited to): the Dave Holland Big Band, the Richard Bona Group, and Guillermo Klein's 'Los Guachos'. I also play music that I write with a group called the Taylor Haskins Experiment. I'm a pretty good cook, but I don't eat (or cook) meat...well, not for 17 years anyway. My top front teeth are almost exactly straight. I just had to get two gold crowns in the back of my mouth & they are really sweet...much cooler than I thought they would be. My dog has hair, not fur. I love analog synths. Kale is awesome. So is Wasabi. I love a nice quick Wasabi-induced blinding headache...it feels like it's good for you!
