Duke dem bitches...

About Me

Shelflyfe- Shut out the World
A litl about me, myself and whateva...
-I am proud to be a Lithuanian with a twist of German and wish I could move or at least visit the homeland.

-I just got out of a relationship I didn’t want to end yet, so I am single and not looking at all...

-I have an amazing son, Jackson Anthony, who was born August 28th!

-I am the singer/guitarist/songwriter for the alternative rock band Shelflyfe, as well as an artist working on solo material.
- I am a staunch Libertarian and I am so sick of the Agenda driven party-biased bullshit that has soiled what this country stands for and should broadcast.
-I live in the South Wedge right near the Distillery and Highland Park in Rochester, New York and also in Springwater, NY depending on where I want to be at that exact moment.

-I am a proud brother of Pi Kappa Phi National fraternity... the best boys in the world are my brothers. R.I.P. Robert Bager! I love you bro...
-I have a Bachelors degree in English and Film and I used to want to write scripts for movies before I dedicated my life to music.
-I play and listen to music 24 hours a day unless I am listening to Dane Cook or Brian Regan or Mitch Hedburg or something fun.

-I’d like to meet someone who can accept that music is my life and that touring and all that glam is just something that this career consists of.
-I am a sucker for dark hair and blue eyes, a flat tummy and lust for life....

Write me if you wanna chat or whatever... I don’t get much time on here but feel free to get at me!
I’m always down to talk about politics and music and food!
Adios Homie G Funks!
