I'm an environmental consultant by day, Chaser by night. I happily stumbled upon SNC while looking for new Christmas CDs to add to my collection - thank you, Borders for having them prominently displayed! After listening to both CDs, I couldn't get enough and started feverishly looking online for more music. Thankfully, this site exists and gives me my daily dose of entertainment compliments of SNC through their music, videos, photos, blog/journal posts, and most of all shared community with the many Chasers out there. What a small world it really is! Thanks Straight No Chaser for being such a class act-full of talent, personality, professionalism, and generosity towards your devoted fans!
An addendum, following your final show at Harrah's-I met many fellow Chasers and loved each one of them. SNC has created a very tight-knit community who love "their boys"-thanks in large part, to sncmusic.com-thanks for giving us a place to connect with everyone from the WebCrew, the group and fans!
Currently Living In

Relationship Status
Single
Trademark
I seem to think that just because I'm in my car, when I sing, I sound as though I can hang with Mike & Jerome - my passengers let me know quickly I cannot. Seriously though, I don't think it's really a trademark, but a good friend told me if I could feed the world, I would. I guess I enjoy cooking for others.
Hobbies
Photography, cooking, writing, sports (watching and playing).
Favorite Songs to Perform Live
I wish I could sing! I sing in my car - is that considered live (it's not Memorex)? ;)
Favorite Place You've Traveled
Philippines (where I have family), San Francisco, Portland (OR), Seattle, New York City. With all these west coast cities, I'm beginning to wonder why I'm living in Washington, DC...
Favorite Things in General
Family (esp. my nieces and nephews, all 7 of them!), the sound of children's laughs, Saturday-afternoon naps, a cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning, the smell of an orange being peeled, the wonderment of being moved by music (it amazes me how powerful it can be, sometimes).
