About Me

I picked up a guitar in the fall of 2000... most of my buddies at the time played music, I loved music (and had wanted to learn the guitar for a little while), so I dove in. I've done it mostly by hiding out in my room using the music as an outlet. The past few years that outlet has gone public, and I have started playing in front of people. Chad Elliott has been kind enough to let me learn about playing performances through tagging along in his shows (singing harmonies and such). We are now working on a collaborative CD that will include contributions from both of us. I am still very new to being on "this side" of the music and looking to explore what my musical bones are all about... through singing/songwriting, recording, and lots of listening.I also design stuff:

Well... it has been a while since I have devoted much energy to music (other than for myself), but this past week I did get to dive into some collaboration with Chad. We are getting ready to nail dow...

Still Me 2.4.07

A year ago today I was arriving in Belize, and stepping back onto a path that was recognizably me. I was nervous, excited, and ready... I was there to take a Permaculture course, and create a promine...
