First and foremost, I'm a performer.I live to be on stage, getting a crowd worked up, and sharing in the energy of a live show. I love to play hard and fast, but I'm practiced in playing more laid-back folk shows too. I've been honing my craft since I got my first residency playing in a bar at the age of 15. I've since toured internationally.

Here's an album I wrote with my rock band, tanblonde.

Here's a collection of songs I've composed and produced for my actual play podcast, Planet Arcana.
