"Liberty" is an unusual name, isn't it. I was born on the Fourth of July, which explains everything. I was born in Honolulu, Hawai‘i and raised in Wai‘anae, about an hour's drive (with no traffic!) northwest of Honolulu. I graduated from Hawai‘i Pacific University in May 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in advertising. Usually, I’m a quiet person and tend to keep to myself, but give me something to type with, and I’ll have a lot to say... as you’ll soon find out.

I oversee website projects at Makaha Studios, a small multimedia production company based in Wai‘anae.

I love music. My favorite band right now is Muse. I think it’s quite a feat if a band can gain a fan (me) with a live album (HAARP). My all-time favorite band is Beastie Boys, since they were one of my first favorite bands. I started listening to them when I was 12, around the time I was really getting into music in general. My other favorites are Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, and Foo Fighters. As you can see, I lean heavy on alternative rock, but I listen to some hip-hop, pop, indie, movie soundtracks, classical, and electronic music, as well.


I also play the piano. I’d like to say that I’ve been playing since I was 12 years old, but really, I started lessons at 12, quit at 16, and just recently started playing again. In other words, I’m not that good. But I love it.

I play a little bit of guitar too, but I haven’t been practicing lately, so I’d be tripping and falling over myself if I attempted to play anything on the guitar right now. I should start working on that.

Other pastimes of mine include dabbling in very minor video production, photography, and graphic design projects, and browsing the Internet.
