CURRENT MISSION

To see the world. To make music. And to just be.

ABOUT ME

I LOVE music, art, nature, and good conversations. I can play guitar, bass, drums, piano, ukulele and I teach all of those instruments to kids ages 4-16. Some of my other interests include, reading (mostly fiction and philosophy), hiking, yoga, collecting small instruments (playable ones like kazoos, jaw harps, etc.), TV and film.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for music and art. Those are the things that bring me the most joy out of life. I'm pretty free-spirited, I try not to pass judgement on people, and look past the ego. I think about everything (sometimes overthinking) and enjoy having meaningful conversations. I'm pretty optimistic and can almost always find light in a dark place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musically, I grew up on rock n roll and blues. I also love jazz, classical, avant-garde, improvised, and some contemporary rock. I like films that are wacky, philosophical and films that are funny and light. I love cheesy b-movie horror films as well, The Evil Dead series probably being my favourite. I love fiction, notably, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, as well some of the philosophy of Eckhart Tolle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I paraglided off of a mountain in Switzerland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach anyone about music, especially if they would like to learn how to play guitar. I enjoy learning new things, and I would love to learn about different cultures, different languages, and just listen to stories about past experiences.
