About Me

lot's changed and now i'm a free man. i live out of my car, travel, write songs, sing with full and happy lungs. i'm writing about it all and eventually will turn my scratchings into a book. you can follow my journey at year of a thousand roommates . if you want me to come sleep on your couch or play songs in your town, drop me a line. i've dropped out of "real life," and am living a real life. i want to live, laugh and love. i hope you're doing the same.
come visit me when i'm in your area and sing along.
