: About Me

i'm a quirky, introspective guy who oscillates between social butterfly and quiet hermit. i have been writing creatively since sixth grade, and over the years have evolved from poetry, to stories, to songwriting, to the novel i am currently writing. i am always seeking new experiences, things to help me keep 'my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds' (matisyahu).

the things that matter the most to me in life are-in no particular order-music, from new tunes to old faves to live shows, particularly the ones that give me goose bumps; my dreams, kooky inspired images that organize the sea of chaos we call the real world into something i can hold on to; and my daughter, alexis, who always reminds me of the youthful perspective that has colored my outlook on life, simultaneously showing me a link to my past and a bridge to my future.

My passion is ...

music.

I know too much about ...

the pink aisle at toys'r'us.

My parents always told me ...

that i never listened.

My childhood ambition ...

involved owning a candy store.

My favorite memory ...

my first concert, bad religion and pearl jam in 1995.

Why I write ...

to lend people my perspective, even if only temporarily.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

varies greatly daily.

My first job ...

reminds me how far i've come.

My best moment ...

seeing myself onscreen at the crest theatre.

My inspiration ...

my daughter, alexis.

Talking bout the land of milk and honey. All we've gotta do is work a little faster. And give him just a little bit of money. He calls himself the Evangelist. He claims to know the truth but I don't believe it. He's got a 'good book,' says we're living in sin. And all the good people are starting to listen.
