I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a singer/musician/music engineer/aspiring writer who moved to the Nashville, Tennessee area summer 2006 from Indiana. I love music, reading, writing, recording, fantasy, horror, science fiction, astronomy, cosmology, and science in general.

My love of science and learning about it eventually helped me to realize that christianity, religion, and the theory of god itself are lacking as explanations for reality to me. After a long transition of avoiding it, trying to hide it, and learning to accept things based on evidence and not because of what I want to be true I became an atheist/agnostic and a skeptic.

My Interests

Playing guitar, singing, fantasy, horror, science fiction, playing piano, playing keyboards, playing bass, recording, writing, writing fiction, producing music, engineering music, Cosmology, Astronomy, Physics, Skepticism, Atheism, critical thinking, evolution, Computers, reading, learning, computer audio and video
