About Me

Well, let's see. I've spent the last 12 years plaing in a rock n' roll band called Standard Thompson. We had a ton of fun and success including appearances on Mtv, the Superbowl, etc... Played a ton of big shows including the 1st Ave main room, Midwest Music Summit, and many more. I recently moved home to Minot ND to finish school and be around family. I just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago, so that's wierd. I don't feel 30.

Right now

So, I've been home in Minot for about 3 1/2 weeks now and I'm pretty happy at the moment. Sure there are some down sides, ie. Living in my brother's basement, cut my pay into 1/3 of my salary in MPLS,...
