CURRENT MISSION

To take it all in.

ABOUT ME

I'm a well traveled musician, an aspiring author, a rambling knot of nonlinear energy, jack of all trades, man of many odd jobs and a restless, free spirit.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, don't be an ass...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done (so far and in my opinion) was get rid of what little I had left, trade my truck for a motorcycle and hit the road with a bag of clothes, a tent and sleeping bag, a notebook and big dreams en route to sweet home Chicago from Phoenix to Tucson to San Antonio to Houston to Springfield, MO to Dubuque, IA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fan of good company, stories and conversation and I'd love to trade mine for yours.
