I am obsessed with music... I play the guitar and bass and program my own electronic music. I also enjoy biking around the lakes in Minneapolis, hanging out in "Uptown" and playing disc golf, and just chilling with my friends. I love to laugh and try to see some humor in everything. If you dont learn to laugh at yourself you just grow up to be old, wrinkled, and bitter... I have a kinda twisted sense of humor, and am damn near impossible to offend (Unless your really trying to, in which case I'll probably go off on you). If you have any questions after looking through this, feel free to ask me, really.

I'm going to school for Sound Arts, which is like sound engineering, recording, and producing. Hoping to finish up this year. Then I plan to transfer and finish up a 4 year at the U of WI-Oshkosh, for Recording Technology with a minor in Music Business. I've also been interning at a studio in Bloomington assisting with putting on a live streaming webshow that showcases a couple local bands per show.

Playing the guitar or bass, programming synths, making people laugh and cheering people up when they're down, finding the brighter side to even the worst situations. Seeing what people aren't saying, I'm very very good at reading people, and I can almost always tell when I'm being lied to. I'm a good listener and I'm good at holding conversations about just about any topic... even really bizzare ones, in fact those are sometimes the best.

How easy-going I am, and my wacky sense of humor. I'm really easy to talk to about just about anything... My creativity and love of music and sound, and all the expressive faces I make.

I got really really bored one night and decided to update this while shuffling through iTunes, it's pretty complete now.. INTERACTIVE OPTION: Play a game, see how many of the approximately 700 bands listed you've heard of or like too LOL. (I like more than the bands listed too, this is simply what's in my iTunes library)

( D ) Italian food, Sea food, Mexican, and Chinese, you know what, I like any kind of food as long as it tastes good.

my friends, my family, my guitar and bass, music making software, music in general, and a place to rest my head

I spend time thinking about all kinds of weird things, from deep introspective thoughts, to philosophy, to random bullshit that just pops into my head... like "Where do hobos get their markers they use to write their signs with? How come you never see a hobo buying a marker with his change?"

Hanging out with my friends around town, maybe partying if there's anything going on, maybe at the bar, maybe just enjoying some time off by myself, makin music who knows? Maybe something completley new and different. I mix it up, routines get boring.

I don't drive because I have no car or license to enable me to drive... and NO it's not because I got a DUI or anything crime related, but it's kinda a long story... And I'm actually hoping to get it back real soon

You want someone fun to talk to, or have a laugh with, deep conversations and you have an open mind and a good sense of humor. I also love to talk about anything music related, hell, if I havent heard of it that's even cooler. Or if you think I seem cool, and think you just might wanna talk to me about whatever enters your mind, go ahead ask me anything, if you're polite about it I'll probably give you an answer.. Really I mean it anything.. even if it's something like "What would you do if you ever found yourself face to face with a talking polar bear?"
