I love to read and write and I am lucky enough to make a living teaching both. I also write, record, and perform music in a few different projects. I suppose out of all the bands I have been involved with over the years I am most known for being the singer and guitarist of the early 2000s indie rock band, The Beat Strings:

I do not participate in any other forms of social media. Goodreads is good enough for me.

I also buy and sell classic soul, funk, and early rock 'n' roll vinyl 45s on Discogs (if you're into that sort of thing):

Byron by Leslie A. Marchand
