Music

I play guitar and drums, sing, and produce music.

Peyote Ugly

I’ve been playing guitar and singing in Peyote Ugly since the band formed in 2015. We’ve spent the last decade writing, recording, and releasing music, while touring and playing shows around the Pacific Northwest, including supporting bands like Temples, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and The Shivas.

Blade Palace

I play drums and sing in Blade Palace, a Seattle post-punk band. It’s a project I started with my best friend, who I’ve been making music with since high school. When we both ended up in Seattle, we picked up where we left off and started Blade Palace.

Recording & Mixing

I’ve always been drawn to music production. I love spending time recording, mixing, and programming drums.
