I was born in 1982 and am the oldest of four boys. I grew up in a musical household in Northern Virginia, listening to tapes, CDs and records, recording off DC101 and sharing mixtapes with my friends and cousins. I sung choir in school and also played bass briefly in my brother's band. I DJ-ed parties in college where I met my wife and then pursued a career in web software development. I moved to Portland in 2012 and got bit by the musical performance bug when a co-worker of mine who sings and plays guitar inspired me to do the same. I also started my first band COVERCRAFT in 2021, playing drums when there was no live music happening because I wanted that to change! Since then I've been splitting my time between work, playing my favorite rock tunes I grew up with, and doing many other musical things like karaoke parties at my house and open mics all around the Portland area. I love to call this place home!
