About Me

I play in an alternative rock band, 1000 Miles From Home . Click the link to check out our demo songs on our myspace page. We are releasing our debut EP in early 2007.

I also play goalkeeper in an indoor soccer league.

Other than work and an unhealthly WoW habit, not much else is going on.

My main bass is a Fender Jazz V with Bartolini pickups. I play through an SWR head and Avatar Cabs. For effects I have a Aphex Optical Compressor and Aphex Bass Xciter.
