Attended University of North Texas from 1997-2001 and various other learning institutes.
“I graduated Lexington High School in 1997 to go straight to UNT majoring in Music Education. I spent the better part of a year in 1999 up in Boston doing Drum and Bugle Corps playing snare. I came back to Dallas to join various other bands, tour, and record several other CDs. After 2 more years of playing out and trying to get the most out of school, I decided to try my luck at home. I have acquired many bands and experiences from SC. I just recently moved to Denton, Texas to try further my career in a larger scene."
Hobbies: video games, reading, sleeping, writing for my solo project, random “useless” information
Inspiration: silence, letting the mind wander
Quotes: “Less is more.” -Robert Browning
“The person who stands up and says, ‘this is stupid,’ either is asked to behave, or worse, is greeted with a cheerful ‘Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!?’” -Frank Zappa
“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
Pet Peeve: It would have to be a tie between misdirected hostility and arrogance in information.
