About Me

I am a freelance acoustic/electric bass player living in Indianapolis, IN. I mostly play jazz, but I also play other styles of music like funk, rock, and fusion. I am available for children's parties, weddings, sing-alongs, ice cream socials, ect. Also, people should know that I am made out of clay and can take any form that I want. I went to school at Indiana University and I recieved my BM in Jazz Studies in 2004. When I am not playing I like to listen to myself talk and pat myself on the back for a job well done. I like long walks on the beach and people who aren't afraid of who they are. Some of the people I have performed with include, David Baker, Fred Hersch, Bobby Shew, Jerry Weldon, Darius Brubeck, Greg Skaff, and Jane Jarvis (not all at the same time).

STUPID CRAP

New favorite joke

Hello. This joke is a modern update of a classic. Simple yet elegant, tasteless yet disgusting. Two necrophiliacs are making love to a dead clown and one says to the other, "does thi...
