MISCELLANEOUS INTERESTS V Music: Outside academia, I enjoy a fluctuating professional/semi-professional career as a touring and studio musician. I have written songs from adolescence and throughout my adult life to date, and have contributed to an array of musical projects from touring in bands in various capacities [including extended stints as a guitarist, percussionist, and singer] to contributing to a variety of projects as a session musician. I have released numerous E.P.’s and full-length albums, both with labels and independently, and continue in these endeavors without plans to stop in this lifetime. Hobby: Aside from writing, collecting, and performing music, I build instruments and devices conventionally used by guitarists [e.g. replicas of vintage “fuzz” effects pedals]. Other: I know how to moonwalk.
