About Me

I am a music connoisseur (a.k.a. music snob), who entertains and is entertained by a gargantuan music library of nearly every ilk, variety, genre, what have you. I am a musician in training, to become a performer and teacher of the steel drums. I previously attended West Virginia University for my first year of college and loathed it intensely. I am now at University of North Texas to be with best friends, closer to home, for a delicious musical education, and a much warmer climate. I enjoy long walks on the beach, romantic dinners, and good grammer and diction.

My Interests

Steel Drums, music of almost any sort (I'll give anything at least one listen), chillin', various sports (including ultimate frisbee, hackie sack, racquetball, badminton, bowling, pool, ping pong, soccer, football, baseball), being outside, and, on occassion, playing nerd games on the computer or various consoles.
