Personal Note

I have been writing, recording, and producing my own music for the last decade. Whether its personal work or for another band/project, I always push myself creatively to see what I can achieve sonically. I've been a life long skateboarder and have used my ability to fall and get back up many times on and off the board. I also recently started painting with water colors to reconnect with a less judgement side of myself and enjoy the smaller things in life.
