About Me

Good music and good friends are what keep me going. I enjoy mountains, flip flops, cheap wine, poker, thunderstorms, balconies (especially when combined with the aforementioned cheap wine and thunderstorms), Asheville, bay rides, good conversations, sailboats, philosophy, sushi, waltzing at Augusta, and rocking out to The Last Waltz with Caitlin in my living room. And that, my friends, about covers it.

Someone who is secretly longing to pay off all my student loans for me... and possibly buy me a catamaran... but mostly the student loans part. :) Oh... and Captain Morgan.

Anything BLUEGRASS, Phish, The Bridge, The Band, The Beatles, Leftover Salmon, Keller Williams, Railroad Earth, Dave Matthews Band, The Everybodyfields... the list is just too long.
