About Me


I spend my nights playing rhythm guitar in the all-girl psychobilly band Thee Merry Widows and my days working on institutional interior projects. Did you know that 'high stress' is code for furnishings that will hold up in a mental ward?

My Interests

music and movies, reading and writing, touring with my band, vintage gear, hot cars, walking the city streets, relaxing in the sun, thinking, dreaming, drinking beer, laughing at stupid stuff, snapping pictures of everything, this n' that, etc.

I'd like to meet:

You...again :)

All kinds including Classic, Psychobilly, Rockabilly, Punk, New Wave, Horror Rock/Punk, Metal, 60's Garage, Surf, 50's Oldies, 40's - 70's Country, 60's Motown, 70's & 80's R&B, 'Modern', Lo-Fi, Blues, Blue Grass, MORE!
