About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life's purpose, is to create.

ABOUT ME

I'm all about music. I also love organic foods and farming, hoping one day I'll find complete independence in living off the land. I love adventure and random spontaneous exploration. I'm quite easy going and fun all around.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is not a destination, it is experiencing life.
I am an Eternal Optimist... No matter what, there is always a way to find good.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots and lots in the musical category. Everything from old to new, punk to jazz and classical, underground to pop. Seriously, I love it all.
I always love a good movie. Some of my favorites include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, everything Miyazaki, 28 Days Later, City of God, Into the Wild, The Jacket... etc.
As for books, just ask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked across the Knife's edge on Katahdin while being among the clouds... absolutely the most grueling hike I've been on, but by far THE BEST YET.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar and music theory pretty well, as I've been playing for about 11 years. I play mostly rock and experimental folk, though the theory is mostly in jazz, not classical. I also know my way around a computer fairly well, as well as certain programs involved with music recording, etc...
~What I'd like to learn more about is carpentry and woodworking. I'm interested in learning how to build my own guitar/instrument so I'd like to develop my hand eye coordination.
