Interview

  • If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
    I am full of surprises. I believe variety is the spice of life and i try not to get into any sort of routine.
  • What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
    As much as being an *** is a financial decision i do it partially because i love meeting new people. Sharing experiences with new people is what life is all about. The things i have seen and done that were never on my radar are numerous. I love the opportunities this brings me.
  • How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
    I tend to spread myself pretty thin. I am a firm believer that you regret the things you didn't do more than the thing you did.
  • What makes you stand out from the crowd?
    I can truly say that i am living for myself. I have always done what i want when i want. Its working for me.
  • What is your ‘niche’?
    I'm pretty authentic in everything i do. I am a really laid back stoner punk bear. I have been involved in the punk scene globally for over ten years. Its my passion. Its helped form me into who i am today.
  • What are your greatest personal traits?
    I can make a room full of people laugh for hours without any real effort. I am quick witted and sharp as fuck. Its not something i practice...it just comes to me naturally.
  • What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
    During the summer i'm typically riding my bike around town from record shop to record shop. Something about digging through crates of records and finding those rare gems is really therapeutic to me.
  • Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
    When i was on tour in Berlin, Germany when i was 22 i had the opportunity to share a stage with two of my favorite bands. They even took the time to learn my songs. It was surreal to have people i looked upto and drew inspiration from singing along to my music.
  • If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
    Not much of a wine drinker. If you had a bottle of Gin than perhaps we could talk.
  • What do you enjoy most about yourself?
    My ability to adapt to my environment. I seek new experiences and try my best to live in the moment. Sometimes that requires quick thinking and adaptability.
  • How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
    I travel as often as possible. I am originally from the Bay Area and try to make it home at least once a year. I frequent new york and philly as well. I am always looking for a reason to visit new places. are you that reason?
  • What should others absolutely know about you?
    That you can rely on my to be 100. I'm blunt and direct. I have no problem calling someone out on their bullshit. If you try to pass off casual racism/ transphobia/ sexism/ ableism or any other oppressive shit off as a joke we will not get along well.
  • Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
    my bike,
    lube.
    music.
    a lighter.
    bloody steaks.
  • What do you do for fun?
    My idea of fun is riding my bike around town, record shopping and exploring new neighborhoods. Drinking beers and smoking a joint at the beach is always an option. =)
  • What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
    I've been a part of the DIY punk scene since i was 15 years old. I grew up around socially conscious radical folks who taught me to stand up for what i believe in. It really formed me into the person i am today which is an opinionated and curious realist.
    I still feel very connected to punk music and the ideals for which is stands.
