About Me

I was born in the Rust Belt. You play the hand that you're dealt. Sit and watch the ice melt. Leaves its mark on you.

I live in Portland.

Wife and 2 kids. Oh, and a cat. Make that 3.

I read old books, watch old movies, listen to old vinyl records, write songs, go into the mountains, try to figure things out. I've met lots of good people and some bastards. Learned something from all of them.
