So, obviously, I am someone with A LOT of free time on their hands. Beyond being a rabid Idaho Vandals fan, I'm also a musician and a freelance "writer." I grew up in little Juliaetta, Idaho, and lived there until my junior year of high school when I moved to Couer d Alene. I graduated from Lake City high school with the first graduating class in 1995, and wrote the alma mater for that school. Despite academic success, i moved to Seattle right after graduation to become famous. That didn't work. I eventually moved to the Richland, WA and began attending Columbia Basin Community College. I became involved in theater, and took two plays to the Kennedy Center ACTF Regionals, winning a regional Irene Ryan Award in 1996 for my role as Jody in Stephen Deitz play "Lonely Planet." At the same time, i continued my pursuit of music and joined Jon Warner and Dan Jenkins in the band Myron. In early summer of 1997, the three of us moved to Everett WA to be closer to the Seattle music scene. We played quite a few shows and made quite a name for ourselves. We were approached by UP! Records, but unfortunately the band dissolved before anything good came from it. At the time, I was working at Target to pay the bills, where I met my wife. When the band dissolved, her and I got married. In 2004, She bought me a little 4-track recording studio and I began writing music again. I made my first CD, and gave it to my stepson with the words "for Gage" written in sharpie on it. From that day forward, my "band" name has been Four Gage. The marriage is now over, but my love for music and making people laugh will never end!
