About Me

Where do I start? I left all of my family and gave up a great career in California for the rolling cornfields of Iowa... TO JOIN A BAND. I spent the better part of 2 years recording and touring the entire United States with this project. I was lucky enough to travel to places I never thought I would get a chance to visit. I got to do things which I never thought I would do. And most importantly, I got to meet tons of amazing people. That experience helped me grow as a person a lot, and for that, I am greatly appreciative! These days, I work for 5490 STUDIOS doing various projects including music videos and feature length movies. I also work for Cellular Advantage(U.S. Cellular)as a Store Manager. For the most part working with the public is cool and the schedule is flexable. I'm a Bassist, a Guitarist, a Drummer, a Keyboardist, a Samplist, and a DJ. Jack of all trades, master of none.. or so I think. I just never could settle on one instrument. I have 11 tattoos and 2 piercings. I'm a photographer. I am a movie buff. You name the movie, I probably own it. I spend my free time writing and recording music, drawing, painting, working out, various graphic design projects, watching movies, etc. I enjoy the works of H.R. GIGER, among others. There is a lot more to me... But I have to leave you wanting to know more right? Im an open book. Feel free to message me with any questions.I can also be reached the following ways...
