ABOUT ME
I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and went to school at Pitt to be an Electrical Engineer. I worked for the man for a bit but I recently quit the corporate job to explore the country and meet new people.
I'm obsessed with anything music related, be it playing, listen, or recording. After playing in bands for a few years and graduating college I wanted to use my new found engineering know how to produce music. I've been building up a studio and learning how everything works for a few years now so I'm planning on taking everything with me on the road in search of musicans, poets, artists, scientists, or really anyone who'd be interested in recording or producing something to share with the world.
Aside from music I'm into biking and outdoorsy activities. If you have pets they'll love me. I love learning about pretty much any subject there is, so if you have any knowledge to share I'm all ears.
Here's a sample of some music I've done.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just did a bike tour from Pittsburgh to DC, 320 miles. Camping out along the river was wonderful. I wanted to ride across the country this summer but I think I'll hold off on that for a little.
Teach, Learn, Share
As an Engineer I'm pretty knowledgeable in Math, Physics, Electronics, Software, and Computers in general. I'll gladly show you anything you might be interested in. And yes, I can fix your computer :0
I can play the Drums, Guitar, Keys, Bass but I'll try anything I get my hands on. I produce in Logic Ableton, and some others. I have some mics and preamps for recording anything I can. I'm real into DSP.
Really I've love to learn about anything from History, Psychology, Sciences, to foreign languages. I'm always cravin' knowledge.
