Hi! I am a self-employed musician and teacher and am working on a Doctorate at BSU. I am an easy going, fun loving guy, but also a very hard worker.

I love to bike the Cardinal Greenway, throw a frisbee, eat at Thai Smile, have a drink at the Fickle Peach or the Hereot, get coffee and a bagel at the MT Cup or the Blue Bottle, people watch at WalMart, get dessert at Incredible Yogurt, shop at Trader Joes and attend church on Sunday.

I love music (jazz, blues, funk, R&B, rock, etc.) and concerts and will even dance when I've had a few.

I love to swim, play basketball, run and do hatha yoga, although I've gotten out of the habit.

I perform regularly around downtown Muncie at Doc's, Fickle Peach, Hereot, Motini's, etc., when not busy doing other things.

I'm probably overdoing things with all the trombone photos! I'm not really that much of a music geek. But . . . music is important to me. I have tried to quit many times, but always come back. I'm working on a Doctorate in trombone performance so I can have a chance to teach music on the college level. My chosen path in life is very different. I worked for years to support my family doing jobs I didn't love. I don't want to do that again.
