About Me

I've escaped the frigid east and have found my(current) home to be Los Angeles. Originally from small town Pennsylvania, my eyes have been opened wide to the big city. A lifetime has been lived in the short time since my arrival... with many more to hopefully follow. By day, I'm an accountant at a production company and by evening I'm usually splitting my time between one of the many musical groups I'm involved in: Trading the Inside , Gualberto , Thrawn , Sam Joole and the Heart Attack , and Dead End Jane .
