About me:
"Slim, Justify Your Existence ..."

I'm here on MySpace to promote my bands and keep in touch with musicians and music fans in the Milwaukee area!

In addition to playing guitar with Milwaukee cover band, Old Mil, I'm hoping to get an original music project off the ground soon. Stay tuned ...

Michelle and I have been married 6 years, and we live in the Third Ward - Downtown Milwaukee. Summer is great.

Quick facts:


Who I'd like to meet:
Classmates from grade school through college, relatives throughout the U.S., band members past and present, amigos nuevo, and fellow music fans. I'm not really interested in adding bands that I don't know.

PLAYLIST - Bands I hope to see at Lollapalooza 2008
