I am a graduate of wakefield High school in the year of 1995
I then went on to ART school, graduated after four years with a BFA in Illustration and Photography.
After art school i traveled to Florence Italy and played music 4 to 5 nites a week up and down the heel and shin of the so called "BOOT".
Coming back from such an amazing experience i needed to broaden my performance repetouis, thus finding and creating the band Meet the Day, with whom i still play with to this day. http:www.myspace.com/meettheday
