CURRENT MISSION

To meet wonderful people, have amazing adventures and to make art and music constantly.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Poetry, Tx, but I've lived in many places: Dallas, New York, Austin and now Chicago.

I'm visual artist as well as a musician (http://www.boneandbell.com.) I also run my own digital design company (http://www.clockworkbird.com) where I design and build websites and mobile apps.

PHILOSOPHY

Have an open heart, an open mind and always do your very best. You'll ultimately succeed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We recently got to play a show on a glassed domed train. Playing to the passing countryside was a hoot.

Riding horses through the Andes in Argentina was also amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and being taught. I know a thing or two about art, music and technology.
