About Me

I made a few shorts in College. I hope to get back into this branch of art again some day, most likely in a different capacity. Now I’m beginning a different type of adventure. I’m starting out in China, teaching English while I work on my Mandarin. Next, I’d like to travel around Asia, Africa, and Europe, helping small businesses around the world work together better. Hopefully, I’ll also be bringing my musical influences into new situations to create new breeds of musical interest because I believe music, dance, and art bring communities closer together.I’m an idealist. I believe the world can alway improve, that a better society is possible, and that people have a natural tendency to want to do good and help others. That being said, everyone makes mistakes, harms other people, and at times wants more than they give to others. The key is a balance. Next time you run across a troubled community member don’t curse them or call the cops, lend a hand and get to know each other. Each of us has the power to change our community - one life, one day, one word at a time.

Music

I am a very strong supporter of live music. I think it is a true tragedy that local musicians are largely ignored. I do think, however, it is partially fault of the music these local music...
