About Me

How much can you really get to know me in one paragraph? I'm a musician. I am a mountain biker. I snowboard. I snowshoe. I do not ever run. It's too painful for anyone else to watch. (Slow-factor) It actually looks like I'm running in water. When I slow to a jog, it looks like I'm speading up.

My Interests

I've been playing music since 5. I play violin, guitar and sing. I teach guitar to people at Hardt's Music in Winona. Its pretty rewarding. I also work at the local bike/ski shop and have been working in shops since the 90's. I try to get out of the house as much as I can.

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet cool people.

Music:

I like everyone from Vivaldi to (hed)p.e. From Avril Lavigne to Paul Simon and Dr. Dre. Phish, NOFX, foo fighters, Miles Davis, Santana and Ben Folds Five. The list goes on and on.Genres? Classic ROCK, Jazz, Current Pop, Blues, Old R&B, Hip-Hop, "Classical"/Orchestral, World, "Power Pop", Ska, Reggae, Punk, Big-band Jazz, Latin.... just to name a few.

Movies:

Anything that involves the mid-90's cast of SNL.

Television:

The show Carnival on HBO was a cool show. ...and Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. However, I don't have cable. How lame.

Books:

Does the "Guitar Grimore: Scales and Modes" count?

Heroes:

People who follow through with things and get things done. Hell yeah. ...and anybody who isn't afraid to stand up for what he/she believes in.
