CURRENT MISSION

To be a good friend, make music, and make a new life for myself in Portland.

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded person that loves listening and making music in various forms. I'm a songwriter and I play in a band called Olina. I'm in the process of moving out to Portland, OR, with some of my friends/bandmates, and LOVE getting people to open up and share their experiences with me, good and bad. I am currently trying to learn Danish. I love coffee! And good beer! I like cooking, or at least trying to cook, and take pleasure in the simple thing in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll try almost anything once. This world is too big to stay in one place!
