About Me

I was born in England, and lived there until I was 15 (so yes, I do have that accent). I'm a Commercial Helicopter Pilot and Flight Instructor at my parent's flight school, Ocean Helicopters. I have a bunch of random/stupid flying pictures to look at HERE

I've been playing guitar since 2002. I started recording little ideas with a crappy computer mic, and slowly got more and more gear and more ideas to record. I had been looking for a band for quite a while, and after many dead ends, I had kinda stopped looking. I had been in Orlando for a week, and when I got back, I saw a few messages on BandMix.com and MySpace from Jason. I met up with him, Ethan, and Thomi at one of their rehearsals, and Kindle was formed. We started playing live in February 2007, and have been writing more and more original stuff since.
You can check out our MySpace page HERE to see pictures, hear some of our music, and check our show times.
