About Me

..

I love music. Anything to do with it. Playing shows. Jammin. what ever. I play the upright bass for Royal Dead but I also play what guitar and keys and anything I can get my hands on. I think people short them selves by just playing on thing. Drums are still my passion though. I have beeen riding two wheels most my life and got my first street legal motorcycle last year. A 2000 Ducati Monster 900. I started learing how to build motorcycles a few years back and should have mine done this summer. But that is the second largest impact on my life, Anything mechanical or fabrication. I grew up around mechanics my hole life so it means a ton to me.
