ABOUT ME

I love cats, music, and coffee. I grew up in a small town in Kentucky and have moved around a lot since leaving the nest. I'm a music business student here in Chicago, I love live music and traveling for shows. I'm pretty laid back and I love adventure!

I hate feeling stagnant, I like to constantly be on the go. I believe in giving back and helping each other out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 my roommate and I traveled to (or through) 25 states following Bright Eyes on tour. I want to get into tour managing eventually so it seemed like the perfect way to get used to life on the road. I met a lot of great people, explored unfamiliar cities, and experienced a lot of gas stations and fast food joints on the way. It was really amazing.
