I'm not going down without a fight. Justice will be served!

About Me


"We need a nonviolent end to violence. Otherwise, we wind up with our boot on their necks, which is no better than the reverse. We need to express our anger, but not overshadow love. We need to have compassion as our approach." -Michael Franti

I grew up in NH, went to college in Daytona Beach, and after travelling around a bit to New York, Delaware, and Oklahoma, I've settled in South Florida. For fun I like to travel, a lot! A lot of times my travels revolve around bands I want to see, other times it's just to ski or go to a museum or something. I used to be a flight instructor and taught people how to fly small airplanes, but now I'm an Air Traffic Controller. I enjoy it, but I sure did have many adventures flight instructing, and I definitely miss it. How manly people can say they flew circles around the Statue of Liberty. I did, and have photos to prove it. Some of the bands I'm in to right now are Umphrey's McGee, String Cheese Incident, Particle, The New Deal, Perpetual Groove, Benevento/Russo Duo, Jazz Mandolin Project, Phix, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that Phish will get back together. I'll be seeing you soon!
