About Me

Friendly, geeky, musical, crazy, mostly harmless.

I play guitar and bass with Vegas Witchcraft , Art Compost and the Word Mechanics, and, well, pretty much anyone else who will let me whore around with them.

I also run/own/work with a couple technology companies, designing software to help make the world better than it already is.

You can see my performance schedule here , and learn more about me here .
