CURRENT MISSION

Finding a Subway...it's Mitch Hedberg's American embassy when he's in different countries. And ducks eat free at Subway.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hiking, bouldering, banjo playing wine-er who just moved to Asheville, NC. I like the weather right before a big thunderstorm, cheese, my dog Halle Berry Hound and cart-wheeling. I listen to old time music, especially old-time blues, but love bluegrass, jazz, swing, indie folk and americana. I'm really outdoorsy and now certified in Wilderness First Aid, so you can feel really safe when I'm around (especially outdoors). I tell a lot of really cheesey jokes, so hope you don't mind.

PHILOSOPHY

What ever floats your boat....knocks your socks....fizzles your sizzle for rizzle my nizzle.

Música, películas y libros

Worked in a movie store for 3 years, so I have many favorites. Books are also a weakness and favorites change on a daily basis, but manly love Confederacy of Dunces, Deep Survival, and Mules & Men. Currently reading Trout Fishing in America.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've seen baby olive ridley sea turtles emerge from their nests and go into the sea in Costa Rica. I preformed at a festival where David Grisman headlined. Played at same festival the next year and Del McCoury headlines. I hiked Half Dome in Yosemite and did field work on the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. Wouldn't mind finding a magic carpet.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you how to make a balloon animal. I like to learn new songs on my banjo/guitar/mandolin/uke/fiddle and about new bands I haven't heard before.
