Thank you for viewing my profile. I am looking to join a band or just jam with some like minded musicians in Austin. Playing guitar winds me down and helps me focus on the intracacies of life so long as the music is unadulterated and free from corporate and greedy influence . I am a mechanical engineer with a passion for learning, playing, and writing music while crafting unique melodies to accompany them in my spare time. Currently, I am getting back to my roots and learning classical guitar pieces to help expand my chord library. Bheethoven, Bach, and Schubert to name a few.

The best feeling in life can be that first moment where an entire band or orchestra hits a consonance from a subconcious level. Would like to feel that again.

Please send me a message. Only looking to play around the Austin, Texas area at this time please.
