About Me

Hey, I'm a 30 year old guy from Indianapolis. I've been playing bass for 18 years (I really should be better than I am)! I'm currently in a band called RedHorse. Check us out at www.redhorserocks.com or www.myspace.com/redhorserocks! I recently bought a house in Indy, it's the most kickassawesome house ever. If I'm not practicing, or playing a show, I'm normally working on the house. Is it bad when they recognize me going into Lowe's???
