Barcelona Once Again!

This summer, I am living in Barcelona once again, but this time to exclusively perform and improve my Spanish! You can find me every Friday and Saturday night at Happy Rock Bar & Grill in the Arenas of Plaza Espanya at 10:30PM. I’m also floating around playing gigs during the week as well, so stay tuned!

Beginning YouTube Covers

I’ve finally decided, now that I have the necessary equipment that I need, to begin putting up my own videos on YouTube. My first video is a cover of a song called “Breathing Underwater” by Hiatus Kaiyote. This song is very special to me because their lead singer wrote it as a tribute to Stevie […]

On Tour With Strip66

I recently got back from a Northeast tour with my band, Strip66 to promote our new album, “Rumble” (available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play). We were on the road for a total of 11 days, performing at venues between Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia. Even in spite of the weather, we made […]

What I’ve Learned During College Breaks

Oh boy my first non-jaw surgery related post! It is 2:15 AM on a Wednesday night (?)…nope actually it’s Tuesday night. I can never seem to keep track of the days while I’m home.

Video: My Double Jaw Surgery Journey

I decided to make this video to illustrate my personal experience with the procedure of double jaw surgery. During preparation as well as the recovery process, videos just like this really helped me get through everything and stay optimistic, so I hope this will help anybody else going through the same thing. It was the […]

7 Months Post Op: Bottom Braces Off

I’M DONE. I just got my bottom braces off, and even though it wasn’t as big of a change as getting the top ones off 2 months ago, this means that I am no longer a slave to the recovery process of double jaw surgery! I know I’ve said this a billion times, but it […]

5 Months Post Op: Top Braces Off!

Welp, five months went by so fast and two days ago I got my top braces off! I rushed home from college to make my appointment, which was the last available time they had before Thanksgiving. I had actually driven home 5 hours three weeks prior to this, to squeeze in an extra appointment with […]

Finally- 3 Months Post Op! (we made it)

The moment I’ve been waiting for since I got my double jaw surgery and frantically stalked other jaw surgery blogs for advice- my three month mark is finally here. This is the month we all aim to get to, and hopefully survive. I survived, and I can say that everything I’ve read about the “jaw […]
