About Me


I'm a musician, and a student and a hedonist, in whatever order suits you.
I could not live without music. I have my industrial project, Politik 89, which is currently in rehearsals to start playing live later this year. Music is the purest expression of my humanity I can offer. Music isn't always pretty. But it's always honest about something, because notes don't lie.
I graduated from ASU December 2007 with BAs in History and Religious Studies. In August, I should be starting law school at ASU. I'm not sure if I want to practice trial defense law or be a law professor. Either way, I'd like to make my living helping people out against the government.
Life is for living. There is only the memory and lesson of yesterday, but we cannot live in it. In the same manner, there is only the plan for tomorrow, but it is not here. I believe in keeping the candle lit and making the most of today. Being unorthodox is just the preferred means to an end. Where the people are, where the energy is - that's real and worth experiencing.

The pernicious influences of goth rock

These videos should explain a lot about me. It's not to say that I'm trying to be something I'm not, or trying to be Andrew Eldritch. But, we're all highly influenced by a variety of stimuli, so I d...
