Update: I'm now living in Portland, mentoring some high skool youth, making music and doing some other creative stuff. Come visit yo!

I spent the past two and a half years teaching special education and history in Brookyln, New York as well as completing my masters in education at night. Right now I'm road tripping through the USA on a tight budget. I'm taking time to visit friends, focus on music and see more of the beautiful and crazy country. As a side project, I perform music that combines guitar loops and spoken word.
