I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I host The Early, Early Morning Show on KPSU Wednesdays 1-3pm and Now I am Trendy Too Fridays 9-10pm PST.
I'm from Wisconsin. I'm graduated from Portland State University with a BS in History. I'm the Promotions Director at KPSU. I love music. I really like cheese. And Thai food. I'm listening to Future Historians on vinyl right now. I play music in, like, five(!) bands but I still probably need more. I own a record label but I probably won't sign your band (sorry!). I'm an optimist. I like drinking brandy in the winter. Tanqueray martinis on hot days. I play bass. I play tuba. I do not like wearing black shirts. I read a lot. I take photographs. Getting the morning newspaper and drinking coffee gives me a reason to get out of bed in the winter. I can be a professional procrastinator. I do not own a television. I enjoy meeting new friends. I have been staying up way too late for the past year and a half. I really enjoy riding my bike. I think Portland is fantastic. I would like to have a vegetable garden again. I wish the thrift stores in the area were better. I don't mind being 28. I like my nifty guitars, basses, organs, keyboards and other things that make sounds. I think David Byrne looks really cool. Yep.
I started a Flickr account that I haven't updated in months. Check it out!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm in the Mudhoney video. Look for the dude up front in the crowd with the goofy winter hat on. That's me...I'm famous...

Shit, I also make a cameo in the awesome Music For Animals 2007 tour video. I "star" in the KPSU section of the video. Check it!

Hot damn! I'm in the Crosswalks kickin' new video too. What a great band and hilarious video...

Woah, forgot about the sweet gladhouse performance on KPSU. What year was this...2003?

Best Now I am Trendy Too ever! And words!

Man, I swear yesterday was the best I've felt doing my show in a long time.  Not that my dialogue was particularly on and I certainly wasn't funny.  But I played some damn good music.  ...
