I have a lot of memories attached to music. The most profound is maybe that on the day I met my wife, she looked over my CD collection and was impressed by some of the particular albums we had in common. We've gone to a lot of concerts over the years since.

Some of my favorite bands: Guster, Remy Zero, Train, and Sister Hazel.

Other bands whose albums I keep coming back to: Dishwalla, Seven Mary Three, Carbon Leaf, and Bodeans.

There are so many. Music is a great influence on me — it helps me focus and find inspiration.
