Joined/Formed SMTN: For pure love of music, rocking out with friends, and living a dream.

Musical Background:  I played alto saxophone from 6th grade through high school. Then I picked up the Bass in high school and then guitar shortly after. Later when SMTN started getting more serious I took extra courses in music theory and audio engineering/production, mainly to know the rules so I could break them and to know better what recording was all about.

Listening Pleasure:  Strung Out, Coheed and Cambria, Big Wig, Deftones, No Use for a Name, Fall Out Boy, Story of the Year, Elvis Presley, Mana, La Mosca, and
I could go on and on...

Accomplishments:  English Degree from U of W; Audio Engineering Certificate, U of W.

Free time:  Is there such a thing ... music, drawing, astronomy, movies, house remodel.

Proudest Moment:  Every new step forward, no matter how small, towards my dreams.

My Mom says I’m: Very creative, high energy, jack of all trades, compassionate,
sensitive, loving, a jokester, headstrong at times, and just plain fun to be around.

10 words on music:  The very heartbeat that keeps me alive every single day.
