My parents are hippies, so I must have a bit of hippie in me.

My interests are guitars, cars, and vacation. I've been playing guitar all my life. My dad was a professional guitarist, but I'm terrible, which lets me off the hook, so I just play for myself.

Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.
