About Me

"I'm comfortable with most any kind of music, I just love the feeling different genre's give you. I've played in everything from jam bands to heavy metal to classical orchestra and to this day I can't find a favorite, maybe I'm indecisive? Maybe not. I'm always up for a jam, whoever, whenever and I love to learn new instruments. People always ask me what the biggest issue I have with music is and why I chose to pursue it; I always like to say that the biggest issue is Me, I procrastinate and get lost in the sound, tends to be counter-productive. Why I pursue it, simple, it's human nature. Everyone has music within them, and personally I would love to be the one that brings it out of them and into the light."
