About Me

Music and school consume the majority of my time. I began playing piano at a young age and wound up taking interest in bass, classical guitar, and electric guitar within the past ten years. I began my collegiate venture at Creighton University in 2001, but transferred to UNO after two years. After Paria signed with a label out in Boston, we all agreed to drop everything and pursue the dream. We released our first album on November 2, 2004 and toured the United States consistently for over a year. After a few member changes back and forth our momentum slowed down and we decided to continue our education as we finish up our second album, which should be out this summer. While in the midst of all that I was also working on a second band, Analog, who I put out my first full-length album with on Imagine It Records. Now that I am back in school, it has taken up the majority of my time, but music still is, and always will be a huge priority. Aside from Paria and my education, I put some time in with an experimental grunge band called Noah's Ark Was A Spaceship, and am currently working on a more chilled out project playing bass and keyboards, as well as recording some material myself on my laptop. I watch a ridiculous amount of adult cartoons (Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, etc.) and quote those shows and movies I enjoy more than I use my own words because I'm a fucking nerd. I am also a huge sissy and have an enormous soft spot for cats, I treat my cats better than I treat most people.
