Favorite BBT Moment: This is an often occurrence… The Nonchalant Wave – (BBT definition) any time a member of BBT is leading in the first car of the caravan to our destination makes a U-Turn (because they were going the wrong way) and then wave to the other cars following them as they pass in the opposite direction. The followers are then forced to make a U-Turn of their own while dodging traffic and not getting too frustrated.

Favorite Artists: Sooo many: Dispatch, The Wallflowers, Three Days Grace, Skillet, Incubus, The Used, O.A.R., EVE 6, Jimmy Eat World, Carbon Leaf, Keane, etc.

Hobbies: Any and all outdoor activities, petting animals, sports, playing AOE II w/ my roommate, spontaneity, enjoying any form of live music

Favorite Quote: “Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.” – Mark Twain

Best part about being in BBT: Being part of a group that shares the love of music as much as I do WHILE sharing it with everyone else WHILE becoming better friends and being a part of the other members’ lives.
