Punk rock and skateboarding took the 'school' out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I'm mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc.

You go to a show and you know the crowd is there because they like the music, not because everybody else was going. That's a good feeling. You look out there and you know, these are our people.

I have to go someplace where I can soak myself in a creative atmosphere.

I've been interested in Eastern religions since I went to college because I was trying to figure out where I stood with Catholicism.

Every few years I'll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am.

I'm not going to say no to playing a show in Missoula.

I played djembe, percussion, keyboards and I sang.
