About Me

I play the bass. Not the fish. The instrument. The electric variety of bass. Left-handedly. I also play trombone, and have been known to dabble in singing and percussion.
I play in The OaKs, and Tuskar Rock. I am married to April, who is cool. We have a furry little daughter named Ellie. Best dog ever.
I am funky. I may not look it, but I am. Trust me.

That is all.
