Don't waste your time or time will waste you.

About Me



hi, i'm jeff, the lead singer/bass player for 7k.i give vocal & guitar lessons and i coach rock bands and their members. I've also been known to act on occasion.

i am hungry, virile, and ambitious. my inner child has grown into a teenage malcontent, and it wants attention. i am dedicated to inspiring others to live their unlived lives.

TROOPS HOME NOW. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY NOW.

one day i will be a wise old man. i am unskilled at sitting still unless i'm totally engaged in a movie or a musical performance. i have no tolerance for boredom. i try not to be impatient. i have unbelievable friends and incredible family. i am fulfilled, angry, grateful, and optimistic all at once. if i were going to be executed, my last meal would be corn meal mush, sliced, floured, fried in butter, and drenched in cheap maple syrup. sushi and pizza would fight it out for second place.

My Interests

MUSIC - mostly alt rock and alt pop, or anything eclectic with irresistible melodies and great lyrics. strange conversations like the ones you have at 3am in dormitories while high on caffeine. that late night rush of driving on empty streets with the windows down, feeling the cold air on your face, experiencing at once longing for the past and excitement for the future.

I'd like to meet:

FANS OF 7k! music lovers, lost souls, anyone with The Longing. students who want to learn guitar, vocals, or need some rock star coaching.
