| Along with Jeff and Kevin, I am one of the co-founders / co-owners of JamPlay. Amongst other things, I'm mainly responsible for usability, design, interfacing, and development of JamPlay.com. I also edit and develop video themes for instructors, and run the Ohio location for filming lessons... Much stress, but oh too much fun to quibble about! After deciding not play basketball in college, I shortly turned nerd in 1999, rest is sort of history... graduated from the University of Dayton (any Flyers out there?) in 2005 with degrees in Entrepreneurship and MIS. JamPlay has been a godsend for everyone involved, I believe. Life as an independent web developer is a dreary one, ..bouncing around clients, working hard for others with little return, on and on. But in so many ways, it has all been preparation for this, so through the thick and thin, who can argue it's value. Personally, I guess I'm quiet and private around most, and too loud around the people I know well. Guess that tends to happen when you work alot on this thing we call the interweb. In my adolescence I was surrounded by the likes of Led Zepplin, Three Dog Night, and many others...It all changed with the And Justice for All album and Exit, Stage Left from Rush.. after that it was over with. I'd have to say that I am a bit of an extremist with music... If i like a band I will literally NOT listen to anything else for a long long time. But as I grow in age, I grow in appreciation for much more diverse music... thanks to a few of our teachers here and elsewhere. | |

| While I adore the drums by nature, I guess you can say that I have the utmost respect for all performing musicians. I try to practice guitar for roughly an hour per day, and Aaron and I are now trying to write some tunes each week. | |
