I'm not all that interesting. I'm not exactly your average suburban whiteboy, but then again, I'm not all that different from your average suburban whiteboy either. I was born in Tampa, Fla., spent my early childhood in SoCal and was stuck in the North Dallas area for most of my life until recently escaping to Austin. When asked, I usually say I'm from California, and someday I'll probably move back. I'm painfully introverted, unless I'm among friends, in which case I can be loud and borderline (?) obnoxious. I'm often stubborn, and particularly resent authority when it resides in the hands of those I consider unworthy (which is depressingly often the case). I've been playing guitar since I was 10, singing, writing my own music and playing out in bands since I was 17. I love music, but I'm too lazy to want to be a rockstar (don't let anyone tell you musicians have it easy; being in even a moderately successful band is more work than fun). I'm a total gear-whore, and have a major woody for vintage Gibsons, Fenders, Gretsches, Voxes Marshalls and Mesas. I also love driving and wrenching on cars. They needn't necessarily be fast so much as lightweight and tossable, and they absolutely MUST have double wishbone suspension because MacPherson struts are a shoddy engineering compromise suitable only for econoboxes. Oh, and PRNDLs are for wussies. My most recent passion is journalism, although the fucked-up, sorry-ass state of commercial American media is doing its damnedest to dampen it. Unfortunately, those who criticize it often don't know what they're talking about and deride it for all the wrong reasons while offering nothing in the way of realistic, constructive suggestions for improving it. I have a lot of very good friends who, along with my family, are the most important thing in the world to me. Since moving to Austin, there are several I don't get to see nearly often enough, but I'm slowly building a new life and meeting new people.
