Taking advantage of living in a major metropolitan area, I love to attend and promote a diverse range of musical performances around Indianapolis and can often be caught at venues like the Melody Inn, Talbott Street, Casba, Spin, Front Page, 45 Degrees, and Therapy Nightclub & Lounge.
Music is an integral portion of my life that breathes passion into everything I do.
Whenever possible, I also like to take my flatland BMX bike out for a ride around the Indianapolis downtown area.
In addition to music and riding my bike, I attempt to spend a considerable amount of time with my two orange tabby cats named Apollo and Ari Gold.
Between my personal life and career, I attempt to take every step possible toward living a complete and happy life.
