The APPLE SISTERS "1943" is now available for purchase and download! I recorded it with my mobile rig in various musicians' houses across Los Angeles. In addition to all tracking, editing, mixing, and mastering, I play on some of the songs, alongside such greats as Sara Watkins, Paul F Tompkins, and Kate Miccuci. Get it now at theapplesisters.com!
My band is called HOT KARATE. I scream like a banshee and play guitar solos with them. We released a free album in November, which I recorded and produced. We've performed all over LA, including the legendary Whisky a Go Go, and are now back in the studio making our next record. Reviewed as "earth-shattering" and "really fun to listen to, upbeat, in-your-face music".

I have a podcast that is a collaboration between myself and actor/comedian Brett Gelman, "GELMANIA". It has been lauded as an exceptionally bizarre and well-produced project. In April we were a featured live act in the Bridgetown Comedy Festival.
I produced live in-studio acoustic sessions from Yo La Tengo, Matthew Sweet, and The Bangles. In late 2012 I will start an acoustic series from my own recording studio, which is in the former Capitol Records pressing plant (Beatles-era factory).
In the last year I got very involved in the comedy podcast world, and have produced hundreds of hours of content for EARWOLF and FUNNY OR DIE. Through this medium I have worked with some amazing talent, including Patton Oswalt, Weird Al Yankovic, Kevin Nealon, Sarah Silverman, Andy Richter, Amy Poehler, Doug Benson, Kathy Griffin and Zach Galifianakis.
Between recording projects, I've been designing business cards
for clients such as The Uprising and United Front Films, and developing iPhone apps for various projects. In my free time I like to drink beer, listen to James Brown, and leave the country.
