Bio:

I have DJed at WCBN in Ann Arbor (88.3 FM) since 2000 and currently host the "Local Music Show" every Wednesday from 9pm-midnight. I started hosting the show in 2002 and then went on hiatus from 2005-2006 while Dustin Krcatovich took over hosting duties. The show focuses exclusively on music from the local area and features live bands in studio most every week.

I am currently playing textural experimental noise/music with Ian Fulcher and assorted guests in Pink Octopus and playing bass with Patrick Elkins. I have plans for new recordings with Anna Vitale for our band Melting Moments. In the past I have been in a bunch of bands, most notably And Spiders, The New Sound of My Bossa Nova, Hot Meat For Young Lovers and Manhole. From 2004-2005 I was doing solo singer-songwriter stuff under my real name and worked on the CDR label We're Twins Records 2000-2006.
