===Biography===
Currently a guitarist for Jake Stack and the Cat Eyes (Cedar Rapids). Former bassist for NonGrata (Iowa City), a former guitarist for Torchlight Parade (Cedar Rapids), founder/sole member of Six Seconds Away (my solo studio project) and the former drummer for the bands Nebula Was and The Vainglorious (Iowa City.)
I'm most interested in guitar, bass, or drums in new or existing groups, but I am available to fill in as a drummer for temporary/emergency situations, as well. (I no longer own drums so it'd have to be a very specific kind of temporary/emergency situation.)
I am interested in frontman/vocalist duties for new projects - my vocal interests in that case are skewed more towards hardcore punk/spoken-word vocals, but I can do some melodic singing (see songs above.)
I also provide some good demo/entry-level recording for bands/musicians lacking the financial resources or equipment to record their works - see my gear section for more details.
