About Me

I grew up in Portage Michigan, love running, soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, horse back riding, sailing, reading and invading third world countries. I spent four years at Hope College learning all about the vast world of philosophy and religion. For the past three years I've been working at an outdoor education center (The YMCA Storer Camps), but am now attending Duke Divinity school on top of being a starving musician. I didn't start playing guitar until College, which is a fancy way of saying I mostly have to rely on my irresistable charm.
