Tobin Hafeli

Check out what Tobin's been up to (like playing in his band Common Era) in the years since he threw his legendary parties.

Questions

Favorite High School Memory: Making the friends I still have today, and all the beautiful women!

Favorite High School Class: Mrs. Shipley's Oral Communication class, because not to many teachers could make me laugh that early in the morning. Also, time went by fast because Geoff Brasher and I pretty much just talked music until the bell rang.

Favorite High School Activity: Since I transferred to Lafayette my senior year, under MSHMAA guidelines I couldn't play golf or baseball my first year (in this case my last year) after a transfer. So I spent most of my time getting to know all the people around me.

In 2002, I spent my weekends: Driving from place to place waiting to hear where the party was. Oh wait, that actually ended up being my house half of the time...Lots of good memories in the basement/backyard of the old house!

In 2011, I spend my weekends: Working A LOT. Fortunately, the kind of work I get to do is enjoyable most of the time.

What You're Up To Now

I graduated from The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in 2008 in audio engineering (Phoenix, AZ). I completed an internship at Phat Buddha Productions (a local recording studio here in St. Louis) where I do any freelance work that I have. I also work for Michael Del Pietro who owns several Italian restaurants.

I live in Baxter Crossings as a bachelor, but I am hardly ever home. I spend the time I have outside of work playing golf and focusing on my own music project. I play in a band called Common Era with Joey Williams and Steve Nackman. If you like the rock sound of the early 90's, you'll enjoy what we're doing.
