I’m Davey, and I’m a lot of things. I’m a musician and a writer – primarily of songs, but I’ve branched out from there into a few things including this blog. I write, record, & perform with a rock & roll band called The Confusionaires. I’m also a father, a divorcee, a boyfriend, an addict, a student, vintage auto enthusiast, and more recently – an athlete (which also makes me a late bloomer).
At one point in my late 20’s I crested 340 lbs. I struggled through trying a laundry list of ways to improve my health, but if I’m being honest I really wasn’t trying very hard until November of 2018 when I found and formulated a plan that facilitated a slow & steady plan that got me down to 174 lbs. – roughly half of the weight I once was, a decade later.
This transformation not only allowed me to get in touch with a younger and more vital version of myself with bigger dreams and a better drive, it also allowed me to foster stronger relationships with my friends and family, and my environment. Now, as I push myself to grow and evolve and take on new challenges, I hope to encourage those around me to up their game as well.
Blog posts go up Saturday mornings with consistency, and videos get posted to my YouTube channel on occasion.

mixed bag
In all honesty, I have been quietly considering stopping this blog. Not because I didn’t have anything worth talking about, but because everything I’ve been doing has been sort of… mechanical. Not mechanical in the sense that it’s emotionless or straightforward, but I’ve literally just been doing the “work” part of my art for a…
full plate
This is a time of year I have a lot on the go. With the turning of the year behind us comes doctor’s appointments and dentist appointments… then there’s festival booking schedules, photo shoots, the planning of a release party for a new album, and the time and money spent making that album become a…
