ABOUT ME
I love three things: The gym, my guitar and jiu jujitsu. The mental discipline of exercising all the aspects and symmetry between the human mind and heart for mastery as a unified force is beyond reproach, something athletes must master in any pursuit. You go to the gym and you focus on strength training and conditioning — using your workouts as a way to better yourself physically AND emotionally. A gift to further creativity where the way in which you pursue music serves as a manner of release.
