About Me

...the little details in everyday life.... the moment you realize you are onto something very very cool.... a warm cup of freshly made black coffee.... a light rain on Sunday morning's empty streets....getting absolutely lost in what you are doing....the moment before with the possibility of connection......a bowl of blackberries....a Fender Strat on 7 through an ADA MP1 preamp feeding a Marshall 4x12 1960 cabinet....catching yourself in moments of pure happiness......hope.

My Interests

Huge fan of all things music (participant and bystander), film/movies (lean toward indie), walking/observing surroundings, contemplating the meaning of it all over drinks with good friends, black coffee, reading (biographies, some philosophy), riding my bike (crosstown mostly), art (paintings), writing little fictional narratives, documenting the day with paper and pen.
