I'm a seriously fun-loving guy with a wide range of interests that center mostly around music. I've been in bands, indie labels, performance tours, video game soundtracks, music technology and game academics (javelosa.com). I love to travel and have become passionate about scuba and sky diving. Also being in the mountains, biking, walking, swimming, yoga, etc.
Since I've been teaching, I have a lot of time to write and record electronic music and perform at festivals. But the best part is actually the teaching. Kids are the future and I love teaching them what they love. I like living at the beach but spend time in Hollywood, the Bay Area, Sierras, the east coast, and abroad.

Hi! Thanks for the add! Long time no see - I believe I still have the recording I made of your performance at our Topanga party somewhere: if you're interested I'll dig it out!
Happy Belated Birthday! How's SMC, cali and life? I'm loving boston (or at least loving studying synth @ berklee)! Check out my tunes if you get a chance, I'd love to hear what you think! Keep in touch,
