CURRENT MISSION

I want to have a donut and a cup of coffee from every dive diner in the country

ABOUT ME

I am a very social person and thrive off the energy of whatever place I'm in. I think that the best to way to grow as a person is by observing the best qualities in others and attributing those qualities to my own set of values. Music plays a very present role in my life, and I love nerding out about artists, theory, music history and the likes. I have a fetish for '70s-'90s Volvos.

PHILOSOPHY

I think variety is the ultimate stimulant, and without it, life's monotony can really bring a person down. I believe traveling allows one to hit the reset button of their mind, allowing them the time to be distracted enough by the beauty of the world while simultaneously being able to process their "home life" in an entirely different light.

Music, Movies, and Books

Film- (most) Coen Brothers films, Ben Stiller, Nick Cage, Blaxploitation films.

Music - I have an affinity for Funk and Jazz music, but my preferences cross all genres as well. Lately, I've been really into Alternative Hip Hop and '90s Rock.

Books - House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne, Women by Charles Bukowski. I really like auto/biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen many amazing musical performances - Herbie Hancock, Dirty Projectors, Flying Lotus, Danny Brown, Wilco, etc. I've also a lot of the Pacific Northwest, which I think is an amazing place all in it's own. (Wiki - Olympic Peninsula)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a wealth of information on music theory and guitar technique, so if you're at all curious about either of those things I'll gladly give you my information on that.
