Bio:

I was born in Orange, CA in 1986 where I lived until I was 11 years old when I moved to Costa Mesa. My mom walked me to piano lessons when I was a kid. I picked up a guitar when I was a teenager. Music, recording, releasing records & live music have been part of my life since as along as I remember. I have been in and out of studios since I was 15.

I love California, my family, friends and am a library advocate.

 

The best breakfast burritos in town are at Romans off of Santa Isabel and Newport Blvd.

 

Some people like to start projects. I like to finish them. 

 

I believe in hard work, virtue, story-telling and soul. Live your life the way you want to tell it.
