I'm an artist, photographer and musician living in Santa Barbara County, California. I have several music projects including "Jaws", a rock project with former and current members of RKL, Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Mad Caddies, King City & others. I also have a solo project tentatively called "1976". I record in my home studio which consists of gear & instruments I've collected in the past couple decades. Sometimes I produce, record, mix and write songs for other artists and friends. I shoot pictures using my Mamiya 6, Nikons D70 & F100 and a variety of esoteric 120 & 35mm film cameras (Agfa, Braun, Holga, Lomo). I also shoot moving pictures on a Canon HV20 and on my collection of 8mm cameras. I'm involved with several Websites/RSS feeds. A few of them are Liberation Media, Jaws Attacks!, Drunken Audible and SharkyTowers.com.

“The nuclear bomb? Does that bother you?”

“I just want you to think big Henry, for Christ’s sakes.”

Richard Nixon to Henry Kissinger in 1972 on his desire to “go nuclear” in the Vietnam conflict as heard in the excellent “War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death”
