Where's Your Identity?
Did you ever stop and think where you, genuinely, find your identity? What is that thing (or group of things) that you do every day…all day long, to make yourself feel valuable? My first response would most likely be, “Uhh…I don’t know?” Then I’d answer with some vague and generic answer about something I’m good at to get you off my back. I hate those weighted questions (that you...

Moving to Nashville.
After months of thought, struggle, and prayer, it is official that I’m moving to Nashville, TN. I had been wrestling with the idea for a while and knew I had to make some drastic changes if I wanted to whole-heartedly pursue a musical career. I absolutely love the area and had such an amazing time while I was there a few weeks ago. After an unbelievable opportunity presented itself, I felt...

August Update
Well, it’s been far too long since I’ve updated or released much of anything since I launched this whole solo artist thing…I thought it was about time to sit down and explain everything that’s going on with me. My first instinct is to apologize to everyone for seemingly falling off the face of the map, but I believe everything happens for a reason and I’ve seen that very truth blatantly...

Living Appreciatively
So I haven’t written anything for quite a while and I think it’s time I slow down from everyday life and share some of the things I’ve been learning/thinking about. One of the most impacting events that has recently changed some of my thoughts and beliefs occurred last week through a missions trip that I wasn’t even on…
My dad and younger sister went on a medical missions trip to Burkina Faso,...

mein Vater...the man is ridiculous.
I was reminded last night, yet again, what an amazing man my father is. I truly hope that someday I become half the man he is. I was slightly confused last night when I heard my dad bustling around the house at 11:30pm. Typically he’s only up that late when he gets called in for an emergency operation, when he’ll stumble out of bed and race out the door to save someone’s life. My suspicions only...

Whats the name of your band? - The Movement
Whats a brief history of the band? - The 4 members had been working together in the music scene for a few years and found an unbeatable connection of personal respect and interaction, musical maturity, and commitment. We spent about 5 months in preparation…writing, recording out in Minneapolis, photo shoots, designs, and...
ATTN: People/Bands Who Talk Shit On Other Bands
You have no place in this business.
Over the past few years I’ve experienced a lot of this…whether it’s local band drama, arrogant bands, talentless scene sluts, or fans/listeners trying to appear influential. Fortunately, my band is so good that we’ve never had or ever will have anyone say anything negative about us (lol/jk for people lacking social wit), but I hear it...

So here I am...blogging?
I never thought I’d find myself on a blog site or doing anything that involves writing to the vast/random public. The concept of pouring out one’s emotions to anyone and everyone on the internet just seems pretty pathetic and desperate to me. You know what I’m talking about…the bulletins and blogs of people whining about life and relationships (typically ending with...
