About Me

i am living out my rock n' roll dream.

i was 20 when i started taking photos.
at 21, fueledbyramen records asked me to shoot their bands.
at 22 i went on tour with weezer, the get up kids and ozma.
at 23 i shot evergreen terrace's and rilo kiley's first tours.
at 24 i was published in cmj, spin and AP (and finished college!)
at 25 i became a high school teacher.
at 26 i toured the country with victory, drive-thru, and eulogy bands.
at 27 i scored my first major label contract (with virgin records).
and now i am 28, and i feel more than ever that success is just around the corner!what will i achieve by the time i retire? you can keep track at indierockphoto.com

apart from all that, i enjoy drunk dialing, laughing fits and picking the crispies off fried chicken.
