Hobbies
I'm a gigging musician who's played all over the Portland Metro Area with bands of various sizes, instrumentation, and styles. I currently lead a few of my own groups, and actively perform on various instruments. I am generally tasked with managing and arranging for these groups. When I'm not doing something music related, I like to read, watch movies, and spend time outdoors.
