Producer / Songwriter / Author / Idea Maven

About Me


I AM A PRODUCER, SONGWRITER, AUTHOR, AND IDEA MAVEN CURRENTLY PARKED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA.
I HAVE A PENCHANT FOR HOLISTIC PHILOSOPHIES, ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS, AND FLIP-FLOPS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER.
I'M TRYING TO BE PART OF THE JESUS MOVEMENT, BUT DON'T HAVE MUCH PATIENCE FOR RELIGION.
I PRETTY MUCH LOVE ANYTHING C.S. LEWIS HAS WRITTEN, OR BRIAN MCLAREN WRITES.
I HAVE A SERIOUS ADDICTION TO NEW MUSIC. (SERIOUSLY, I'M NOT KIDDING, IT'S A PROBLEM. SERIOUSLY.)
I AM FAIRLY DESPERATELY SEEKING THE REASON I AM ON THE PLANET.
I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE CAN IMPACT THE WORLD, I BELIEVE IN JUSTICE, AND I BELIEVE IN BIG STORIES WITH HAPPY ENDINGS.
I'D LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU; SEND ME A MESSAGE, LEAVE ME A COMMENT, OR STOP BY MY BLOG .
