About Me


Born in the spring of 1985. Began making music soon thereafter, but didn't release an album until 20 years after birth. Some albums I've played on:
2005: Mike Kuehn "All Grow EP"
2006-2008: The Big City Nights Band (various)
2007-2008: John Tielli's Metal Kites (unreleased EP)
2009: Jon Epworth "Turn Off Your Name"
2009: Mike Kuehn "I'm Getting Pretty Good at Giving Up"
I've worked on many, many more albums as an engineer or producer while running Sleepytown Sound from 2006-2009 with my friend Ryan Mills. Some of those projects can be heard on my selected discography page .
Currently, I play drums for Jon Epworth, and am hoping to put a band together to perform my songs. I have just finished a new EP which is available for online listening and PWYC download here .
Email me if you want to get in touch, as I rarely check the myspace. I will be especially interested if you are a manager, label person, musician, booker, etc. who'd like to work with me. I also encourage cute and interesting girls to get in touch, regardless of your vocation.
