Music

I am passionate about music and everyday starts with practicing music. It gets me pumped up to start my day.

Writing

Writing is what helps me relax and gives me something to do when I am not creating music.

Photography

This is kind of an amateurish hobby of mine. I would like to become a better photographer though people often find my photographs good.
