About Me

I grew up in a small town in Northern California, Ukiah, which is 2 hours north of San Francisco. I moved down to Southern California to study music, specifically the cello. I attended Biola University from '95-'00, graduating with a BA in Music, emphasis in cello. Then I attended Azusa Pacific University from '00-'03, graduating with a Master's degree in performance, cello. I am also an artist and graphic designer. I do illustration, portraits, and have also done set painting. I like illustrative art, something that tells a story, such as the paintings of Ted Nasmith (www.tednasmith.com). I also am interested in photography. I have two older brothers who are both married with kids. I have nine neices and nephews...This profile was edited with Drew's Myspace editor
