About Me

Here's a little info about me. I'm 26 and I live in Waco, Texas. I've been married for nearly 2 years and am still trying to figure out how it works but am loving the trial and error. She's my best friend and is willing to put up with my craziness. I play bass for a living which is not a career that I thought I would ever have in my wildest dreams. I've played every style of music there is to play and met a lot of cool people on the way. I play in a band called Sleeperstar and love the guys in my band like brothers. They're absolutely amazing and I'm not deserving to play with them. I also engineer and produce records when I'm not playing music, so give me a call and I'll make you sound good. I promise.
Here a few things that I like: coffee, a good bowl of granola cereal, Italian silent films and French New Wave films, sleeping with the window open while its raining, a good pair of handmade jeans, thrift store shopping, two-inch tape recordings, hats (any kind of hats or head coverage), good bass players but not flashy bass players, aged whiskey.
