About

I play bass and sing in Blaggards, a hard-workin' Irish rock band based out of Houston, Texas.

I've been playing in bands and performing solo off-and-on since I was 17. In addition to bass, I play guitar (my first instrument) and a bit of piano. I have a bunch of my own songs that some day I'll get around to recording properly. I have also written poetry. Before Blaggards I spent a few years studying creative writing at University of Houston.

I also do web design and development. I am a total web standards geek, which is one of many reasons why I think VIRB° is so freaking awesome. Oh baby.
