ABOUT ME

I grew up near Chicago, Illinois and moved to Nashville, Tennessee for college in 2006. I graduated in 2011 with a degree in audio engineering and since then I've been working on my music and working various places over the years including a record pressing plant, a taco restaurant, and my uncle's shop doing food prep. In 2013, I purchased a small camper that I've been fixing up since then. Early 2014, I sold most of the stuff in my house and moved into a friends' basement for the summer. After that I moved back to Chicago to attend holidays and weddings, all the meanwhile, making progress on my camper/living situation. My ultimate goal is to be able to live in it 100% of the time.

I independently write, produce, and record my own music by the name of Beat Bums.

PHILOSOPHY

Only care what some people think. You'll know who.

Bought a camper on EBAY for cheap, flew to Cleveland to pick it up, and drove 500 miles back to Nashville. And that was just the beginning.
