I play lead guitar, backup guitar, some drums, the triangle and vocals in my solo band, The Freshest Produce. I played polo for Texas Tech, where I attended school and studied biology and then photography with the State Photographer, Wyman Meinzer. Fall 2006 marks the start of a Photography degree at the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Everyone says I belong in California...must be the shaggy blond hair? Polo is the greatest sport ever, and horses are almost as cool as monkeys. I play a bit of polocrosse too, and imagine I'll be as involved as I possibly can over the course of the future. I'm huge into music, mostly rock and its variations from classic to indie to jam. Some old hip-hop, electronic and a few other things are cool. I'm a fly fishing guide in Colorado over the summers, which is heaven for me because I'm a nature junkie. I love to hike, ski, swim, photograph, write, draw, talk, toke, drink, play guitar, rock climb, boulder, spelunk, just about any damn thing you can do outside.
