About Me

He's a Montana-born boy raised in Arizona to be a poet, artist, and singer with unending wanderlust. He's fascinated with art and other shiny things, a good story will keep him captivated and silent as he soaks you in.
In truth, he is good at only three things: using language, kissing, and driving.
He has performed for MTV and on The Travel Channel's "Your Travel Guide" episode of Sedona.
