I play Bass, write songs and manage a band called 7th Direction which I founded with two friends in 2002.

Music means to me:Everything. The nights I spent front row in front of Jerry are burned like fire into my mind. I spent way more nights between the 10-30th row in front of Phil. Music helps keep me sane and is my true release. Therapy can be really hard on your mind, but playing live literally keeps me emotionally well. music is everything to me. When I read the words of Bob Dylan or Townes Van Zant I am transpoted to mystical worlds. I also love Ryan Adams. he is a genius and I hope he can chill out and live a little while longer
Schools:Falk School, The University School, Penn State University University, The California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University
General Interests:Playing Music, Seeing live shows. (I miss you so much Jerry) doucumentary Films, Travel, The Dead. The Band. Dylan, Ryan Adams.

Townes Van Nandt. If you ain't heard him yet websearch his name and listen up. Then rent or buy the film "Be here to love me today" It's doumentary where like 20 great musicians agree with what Steve Early said best "TVZ is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand naked on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that"
Other Distractions:The Wire(HBO) Deadwood (HBO)

Books;
Little Big Man (the movie is good, book is great)
