About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling, learning and living.

ABOUT ME

I'm a geeky artist basically. I've been producing electronic dance music (psy, progressive, electro, trance ect) for the past 11 years. I also dj. I've spent a great deal of time making people dance. I have done quite a bit of visual/digital art as well. I like to create other types of interactive art using inflatables and have participated extensively in the Burner (burningman)art community.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is generally to leave your expectation level at 0 and go with the flow. This is especially true when dealing with relationships or just humans in general.

I think life is short and can be gone before you know it. Its important to take opportunities when they come.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

played all around the US to thousands of people and made lots of music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been an IT professional for @ 11 years so I can fix almost anything on Windows and Mac computers to systems engineering, networks, asset management or creating digital art.

I've also been producing electronic dance music using a multitude of synths, software and sequencers for the past 11 years now.

I Dj. I also cook and love having experimental sessions with someone in a kitchen. I can teach you how to make breakfast tacos Austin tx style (its really not that hard)

I want to learn other languages, people's stories, production techniques, art techniques, cooking skills, new cool places to check out, cool people i should meet and just anything really. I have quite a broad interest.
