About Me

MySpace Editor

MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor Icons Collage MySpace Graphics MySpace Codes More info, people have asked for. So yeah. I play drums -- a lot -- and I really enjoy doing that. I've been really lucky to play all over the place with a bunch of different bands. Most recently with Jeremiah's Big Day Out and the Tyler Schwende Band. I've also filled in with or recorded with or generally annoyed artists like Monica Joy, Critical Mass, Jon Bueller and Lost Coin. Someday I want to stop filling in with bands and really put some creativeness towards a group of my own, but Phil Collins once told me that you can't hurry love, and since being in a band is pretty much like being married I'll wait and see what happens there.In real life I work for a financial company that worries a lot about money. Funny how that works. It's good work that lets me do what I want with life and not worry too much about money. In that vein, I also work with a bunch of cool cool uni kids at Waterloo MB's Regeneration group. Erm, I like playing basketball too, and I do that as often as I can. Oh, and I can write, which you probably can't tell by reading this, but it's the truth.
