I know it's time to leave this desert road behind...

About Me

A standard Hollywood cliché... an aspiring musician and screenwriter... I also work in television production to pay the bills, which I guess is better than waiting tables.
Other than that... I guess I like to think of myself as an open-minded and autonomous person. I can also be a bit shy, stubborn, and impatient at times. Overall, I would say I'm a pretty laid back guy who just likes to have a good time without a lot of bullshit. All of my spare time is devoted to working on music and screenplays.

My Interests

Rock'n'roll, caffeine and sugar, my special lady friend, my family and friends, writing screenplays, being inspired, hiking in the mountains, 24/7 diners, exploring new things, OU football, collaborating with creative people, a good cup of coffee and a nice cold beer. Basically, almost anything that has involved some sort of original thought and imagination...

I'd like to meet:

Well, since I already met a pretty girl with long dark hair... I would have to say people who haven't traded magic for fact as well as people that believe there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're an imagination of ourselves.

Music:



Some of my favorite albums: Aenima by Tool, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Diorama by Silverchair, Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo, The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails, Distorted Lullabies by Ours, White Pony by the Deftones, Euphoria Morning by Chris Cornell, OK Computer by Radiohead, Fantastic Planet by Failure. Also... Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam, Incubus, A Perfect Circle, The Flaming Lips, Kidneythieves, Metallica, The Beatles, Metallica, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Rage Against the Machine, The Mars Volta, etc.
