I think these self written bio things are lame but I guess its the best way to sum myself up in a few paragraphs to anyone I havent met before. Above all, I am a music nut.

I enjoy performing, playing, and writing music. I spend most of my free time twanging an instrument. I have played stringed instruments most of my life except for a brief period between middle school and high school where I played trumpet. But string instruments have always held a fascination I play guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin, dobro, and piano (it has strings, Ive checked). I also enjoy recording and record myself and friends. Ive written and recorded the theme song for Ghostly Talk , an internet based paranormal radio show, which is now breaking out into FM radio world as well. I also perform at many open mic stages around Indianapolis. I also have a band, The Highway Kind that I perform with.

I also am working at becoming a luthier. I am slowly building my first acoustic guitar. Ive been working on it for about 2 years. Its been slow but I have been learning as I go. Im sure the next one will go faster.

When Im not playing music Im working at my real job. I am production manager for many corporate events. I also do live video and audio production for corporate and entertainment events around the country, which keeps me on the move most of the time.
