About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To use my music as my vehicle for world exploration

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate who has decided to take of and explore a bit before I get into anything to serious. I've played music since before I can remember and I'm constantly amazed at the amazing situations it gets me into, and the amazing people it helps me find. I've always seen music as a force that will always lead you toward magical experience if you let it, so I've decided to travel the world with my music and see where t takes me.

PHILOSOPHY

Deep down, I want to excel at specializing at living life without having to specialize. I love to learn, and I believe that every thing is so connected and intertwined that it can be quite dangerous to focus too much on one tiny aspect of human experience, so I prefer to let it wash over me and soak in every detail I can. We'll see how long I can keep that up... Haha!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm sure some will take this as a cop out, but really... Everything. Really, really... even if you don't "enjoy" a book, movie, or musician... There IS something there for you. It just might be hiding well.
