Nerd Interests
I'm studying to be a physicist at the University of Virginia. My research interests include Quantum field theory, String Theory (as well as M-theory and Kaluza-Klein theory), and more broadly, Atomic, Molecular, and Optical physics. I also dabble in web design. The languages etc. in which I can call myself fluent include PHP, MySQL, JavaScript / Java, HTML, MS Office software like Frontpage and Access, etc. etc.
Musical Interests
After dabbling with the trumpet for about five years in early childhood, I gravitated toward the guitar because it offered perhaps an easier and more versatile outlet for my creative needs.
Influences
I love rock music, including Led Zeppelin, Tool, Metallica, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, The Grateful Dead, and too many more to mention.
Gear I Use
I've always used Fender amps, although I covet big Marshall tube stacks and have gotten great sounds out of Mesa Boogie and Randall setups.
As far as guitars, I have an ESP with 24 frets, neck-thru body, and floyd rose tremolo for narcissistic displays of chops and devastating metal sounds. It's not the top of the line, but I love it anyway. I've also had a Fender American Standard Strat ever since I started playing guitar, and it still sounds as sweet and juicy as anything I've heard. It sounds particularly good in clean channels and alternate tunings.
I've gone through a ton of effects pedals over the years, but I keep using the old MXR Phase 90, the Vox Wah, and the Boss Digital Delay and Chorus.
