Bio

I've lived in Birmingham my life thus far. I really love the trees and the beauty here. I enjoy writing and creating music more than anything else. I like to believe I do my art without attachment and that it just flows through a cosmic pipeline through me and into being. My spiritual journey has been most interesting, being raised in the heart of the bible belt surrounded by some particularly close-minded people. I'm thankful for this, because it makes me really appreciate who I am. I'm not particularly good with labeling and sub-compartmentalizing myself into a box, so there ya go.

Skills and talents

I throughly enjoy playing piano, saxophone, appalachian dulcimer, and any other instruments that I can create sounds with. I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich. Poems and photographs are most enjoyable as well.
