More About Me
Being born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I grew up skiing nearly every weekend of every winter in the steep southern Rockies in Taos, New Mexico. Outside of music, skiing is by far my greatest passion, and I luckily still get to go at least a few days each year. I hope to eventually enjoy the epic sport as much as I did as a kid, once I have the time and resources to do so.
While indoors, my favorite activity aside from music is video games. I am an avid fan of adventure RPGs, with some of my favorite titles including Skyrim, Dark Souls, God of War, and Elden Ring. I am writing this brief bio while being heavily enthralled with Black Myth Wukong, so if you share my love for this game please reach out and tell me all about it.
