Music pretty much what defines what I'm doing and when. I don't play an instrument (a mean air guitar though), but music pretty much consumes my time and focus. I would love to be the guy behind the scenes getting tours together and making sure there are fans in the stands! I, along with a couple of close friends, are currently in the works in starting a promotions company that focuses on promoting local Milwaukee artists.

I am an adventure seeking guy, currently travelling and working for Widespread Panic. Enjoying seeing the country. Having a great time. When we're not touring, I live in Washington, DC and enjoy throwing parties and going out on the town. I play drums for a band called Mobia's Project which is an improvisational rock band. I am always interesting in doing new things and meeting new people.

Thats right its ALL about me....
