Tell us some more about yourself

Growing up in Seattle, and fronting a band, it was hard to avoid the nickname my friends would saddle me with, “Softrock”. The story goes that my ponytail and the way I talked to girls, which made me “Sensitive Ponytail Man”, and my last name looking like, but not being pronounced, “Rock”…well, I was Soft Rock. At first it was “Warm 106.9 Seattle’s Soft Rock”, but it got shortened pretty quickly to just Softrock.

The band broke up and I went to college to get what my Dad called, a real job, so now I design Websites. But if you know a band that needs a bass guitarist, I’m ready to audition.
