Get the low-down on Elephant Minor's frontman...

About Me

Born and raised in Hampton, VA... I now call Charlottesville my home. In 2004 I moved there to seek out a sweet sweet band. I found it!!! Check us out at www.Elephantminor.comI sing. I play guitar. I write songs. Apparently I'm crazy, or mad, or just really weird... but, if I really were, how would I really know? So, I like to think of paradoxes more along the lines of Huckleberry Pie, since I don't know what that is either, and because it sounds tastier! Mmmm... pie.... I'm a "trouble-maker," and I'm the first one to laugh at my misfortune. Anyone else down for a little self-destruction? Love, love, love ya'll!...and then there was the survey....

My Interests

I dig risks. Things new and old. I like going out experiencing the world, and I like staying in and relaxing.... really there are too many contradicting things for me to list here... except I should note that I don't like what I don't like, but I don't know what that is right now. You'll just have to figure it out yourself.

I'd like to meet:

EVERYONE!!!! Life's been good to me in the friend department. I've got a bunch of people in my life who I'd love to clone... except I wouldn't want to meet the clone, because if it's an evil clone, I'd rather avoid the awkward situation of having to choose which one to kill, since they both look the same, and I wouldn't want to kill the wrong one.......................................................I' m down for meeting you and your friends, just don't come over to my home unannounced, though you're always invited!Other than that... I would like to meet a living can of spinach, Puff, the Magic Dragon, and the Muppets!!!
