I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Music is my prime directive. I am a performing songwriter, and I also play traditional Celtic music. I was born in Dallas where I lived until moving to Pittsburgh at 16. I'm what you'd call a non-technical geek. Science and computers may not be my thing, but get me talking about music, history or celtic stuff, and you'll find out what a nerd I really am. Especially when you find out that I like to play dress-up with historical re-enactors. And when you find out that my day job is designing and making costumes for them. (And I actually do like science. Computers, I'd like to take a sledgehammer to.)

Television:

Everything I like gets canceled.
You're Special Agent Dale Cooper. You're often too
brilliant for people to really follow, but
your infectious enthusiasm makes up for the
fact that you're frequently incomprehensible.
You are smart, intuitive, clear-headed,
compassionate, and cute as hell -- about your
only flaw is your insane coffee consumption.
