ABOUT ME

I live with my roommate in Jamaica Plain, MA. I play guitar in a band called Atomic Monster. I was the bassist in Superkollider and I work on other side-projects (The Silo Years, Digiteau, etc). I was born and raised in Massachusetts and have lived in Boston since 1994.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to just about everything--hardcore, punk, rock, metal, jazz, blues, rockabilly, ska, old country music, etc. As far as movies go, I like too many to list in this small space.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Peru for work and lived with coffee farmers for a week--plus I got to go to Machu Picchu. That was pretty incredible. My girlfriend and I went to Ireland in 2005. We drove a harrowing stretch of narrow road though Killarney National Park. We thought we were definitely going to die! But despite never having driven on the left before, we made it back alive. The previous year we went to Paris and I hope to go back someday. Definitely one of the most amazing cities I have ever seen...although Prague was very beautiful too.
