About Me

I play bass and sing in deep Snapper as well as Tame...Tame & Quiet. I play guitar and maybe some keys w/ Raised by Tigers. You'll probably see me involved in some other things here and there...I can't sit still for too long. "Just Don't Get Weird", "Pushing Up The Pulldown", "Six Hours" , and "Chain Smoking But Hot Korean Girl" are songs I wrote and recorded on my own. The deep Snapper track "Plato Smash" is from the record called Into The Ugly. Used to Be A Ghost comes from the Raised By Tigers CD called LED. Jason McMullen and Rob Peters wrote that one. "Blank Checks On A Clean Slate" is from the Tame...Tame & Quiet release "Tin Can Communicate". It was written by Aaron Bartz, Boyd Dixon, and Darren Miller. I'm fortunate enough to have been able to play in one capacity or another with bands like Yay Telescopes, The Intonations, Lady of the Lake, Silver Arrows, Shiny Around The Edges, and birth to burial.
