I started playing bass guitar when I was 16, and haven’t stopped since. Along the way, I’ve played in and started a bunch of bands, written a bunch of songs, played a number of one-off gigs, picked up some guitar and drum skills, studied music performance and composition at college, and served as a musician in a military band. I’ve played rock, jazz & experimental/avant garde, but punk will always be my first love.
Here are some of the music projects I’ve been working on:
(bass, guitar, vocals)
Literary punk / post-hardcore home recording project. Each song is based on a radical text that has inspired me.

(bass, guitar, vocals, 2008-2013)
Math/queer/theory-core band in two iterations (Wesleyan / Boston).
I love short love songs.
