Who am I?

Barring a brief stint as a ranch hand in Brazil, I've lived in the Bay Area for my entire life. I was born in San Francisco, raised in San Jose, and I graduated from UC Berkeley, studying rhetoric and philosophy. I'm a self-taught musician proficient in the drums, piano, flute, and accordion. My music has been played in over 70 countries and I currently perform in a jazz trio with my dad and brother. I'm a proud supporter of São Paulo Futebol Clube and I also speak Portuguese and Spanish.

Musicians: Bill Frisell, Debussy, Beatles, Tin Hat Trio, Dylan

Books: The Brothers Karamazov, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Ulysses, 2666, Darkness at Noon
