I graduated from Naropa University in 2007 with a degree in music. My professors had a profound impact on my musical direction. A love of avant garde rock and jazz steers my musical inspiration and output. Thanks to Zappa, Les Claypool, Yes, Miles, Monk, Mingus, Midnight Oil, Harry Partch and Oingo Boingo.
