About Me


I'm now living in Austin, TX after spending five years living all over the U.S. working as a professional archaeologist (read: shovelbum). I've been helping out wherever I can in this burgeoning music scene: booking tours, providing tour management, coordinating publicity, creating band promotions packages, taking headshots, doing live music photography, wiping noses, etc. Some of the musicians that I've been helping out are listed in my top friends. Check them out, they're really great!
If you are a musician in central Texas or will be passing through and you think there's anything I can do to help, drop me a line and maybe I can.
I spend a lot of time with photography. You can check out my online photo library here . If you see anything you like, drop me a line and let me know.
I also put in some time each week as a geographer for an environmental sciences group here in town. I've been making maps for windfarms and have been sent around the country to perform various tasks....
