Three minor chords and the truth.

About Me

I wrote my first song in my teacher's office in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Wrote a few more there, came back to Portland, ME and started a band. Spent four years with that group, and moved to Nashville. Moved to Kathmandu, Nepal, and wrote some more. On my way now to West Virginia for some archaeology work, and then back to Asia. I like to sing. I like to travel more.
