About Me

I'm writing songs and playing in four bands I started and I am really enjoying life. My songs have been used in a few movies, on cable TV, and in national radio ads. I've won 2 Telly Awards for use of music in video and received critical praise for my writing and rocking from Americana U.K., The Village Voice, and many others.

I also enjoy producing records for other bands that I dig. Currently at the Co-Lab, I'm working with Kate Starr, Love Tentacle Drip Society, and Screaming Infidels, Jameson Zimmer & others.

Lastly but not leastly, I firmly believe that gay couples should be allowed to get married if they so choose.

You love to judge people don't you. It makes you feel better about yourself without having lift your ass out of the chair. Well...actually, I don't like that phrase much either.
