About Me

i was born and raised in austin, tx, but i've been up in ny since 2005. i'll be here for a while, it looks like.

i also play in a kids rock band, The Jimmies . they're in my top friends... unless you would use the words "crusty" or "grumpy" to describe yourself, you might be happy to check them/us out.

smile if you can.
