About Me

I'm a musician who went to a famous music school with a lot of soon to be famous people, graduated, got a day job, got married, had a beautiful baby girl, and now spend my time working a somewhat soul-crushing job, being a dad and husband, all while still trying to write and record music when I can. All is good though, such is life, and plus... it's all just inspiration for my music. :-)

My Interests

Drink Less, Drink Better
Support local & craft beer.

I'd like to meet:

The internet is a crazy invention. Not only does it help you keep in touch with old friends and loved ones, it also helps you keep in touch with former co-workers, classmates and other assorted people you hoped you'd never have to think of again. That being said, :-), feel free to contact me, if I really wanted to stay off the grid I wouldn't have signed up on this crazy website.

Music:



You can listen to my tunes or see a complete list of my influences/what I generally listen to here.

Movies:

As a netflix subscriber since Nov 2000, I've wasted a good chunk of my life watching one crap-tacular flick after another. I generally stay away from the summer CGI blockbusters and watch independent films, documentaries and such. If it’s artsy and most people haven’t seen it, that’s usually the one for me. Although to be honest, now that I'm a dad, I tend to watch nothing but Pixar movies. I’ve seen Finding Nemo and Cars so many times I could quote 'em to you from start to finish. :-)

Television:

What do I watch? Hmm... The Simpsons , South Park , Family Guy , Countdown , , 60 Minutes , Food Network , and The History Channel , . The Red Sox , when they're in season.

Books:

Since I started biking in the morning in January I've been reading a ton lately. So far while losing weight, 54lbs so far, I've read; The 6th Harry Potter, "Keep the Aspidisdra flying" by George Orwell, "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Lawson, "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown, Frank Zappa's Autobiograhy, The 7th Harry Potter(best one of the 7) and now I'm working on "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. Fabulous book, I've been reading it since May and I'm almost done at about 1040 pages. :-)

Heroes:

Higglytown
