Born 4/30/76, bicentennial baby.From Rochester, Il, population 2500. Attended University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, bachelor’s in finance.
Was in a band called Sarge, records listed below.
Went to law school at Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, IL, loved it. Went to law school and played in Sarge, was very busy. Sarge broke up, wasn’t happy. Played solo for a while, kind of sucked. Started a new band, was then happier. Worked at a law firm called Jones Day Reavis & Pogue as a summer associate, loved the super smart surly old partners. Took a leave of absence from law school, started touring. Named the band the Reputation, released a self-titled record on Initial Records.
