Im a marine veteran. Studied jazz in college. Now i compose for an electronic jazz band called collective theory. I have hitchhiked 26,000 miles, but ive never been to the northwest. I guess the best time is now.

I just need to cut loose for awhile and float in the breeze. I have a few old friends to go see so i figure i might as well make some new ones on the way.

Ive seen the stars from many different places. Ive seen that people will take care of you when you need it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have done a few things in life. I can teach guitar and music theory, self defense, fitness, and nutrition. Ive had a few people tell me i could be a history teacher. It might be because i was boring them.
