I’m a semi-professional musician, part-time writer, artist and intellectual. I currently play guitar & perform with the bands Brother Z, ToasterBasket, and Dire Wolf; as well as produce music for other artists & solo projects.Throughout my academic career I majored in English, Philosophy, and History. I received a liberal arts education with a main interest in the social sciences i.e. psychology and sociology. I graduated with a degree in the interdisciplinary field of Communication Studies with a concentration in interpersonal communication with a focus on group dynamics and personality psychology. I consider myself to be highly motivated, hardworking, dedicated and determined. Many people have called me a “deep thinker” and “inquiring mind.” In my spare time I write a blog about politics/current events and I enjoy bike-riding and catch-and-release fly-fishing.
