What, me? Enough about me already, let's talk about you. What do YOU think of me? Oh, that's rich. I have a wide range of interests which usually revolve around the arts and humanities.
They say a man is defined by what he does, and this is what I do:
I currently am or have been, a drummer, DJ, band manager, band leader, bar manager, graphic artist, copywriter, art director, creative director, movie set dresser/art department, ESL English teacher, sound engineer, bouncer, bartender, construction worker, environmental hazmat assessor, industrial hygenist, marine biologist, dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant, and for a brief and shameful period, a car salesman. Just kidding it wasn't that bad! Mostly nowadays I just play drums and work at the world famous Casbah, the finest live music venue in San Diego, quite possibly the finest in America.
In recent news, I'm getting ready to go out on tour playing drums with an awesome band of awesome peeps called Enon, and we're going to do the US and then Europe! Kickass! Check it: http://www.myspace.com/enonmusic
Here's a list of most of the bands I have played in or recorded with, more or less in a chronological order:

Of course, i'd rather just be playing music all day...
You got a band and you need a drummer? Drop me a line! Entice me with a clever hook or inspiration! Or buckets of money, either way is good.
I currently DJ regularly at the Wits End beer bar in Hillcrest, 420 Robinson, every Monday night from 8-12, spinning classic rock and anything else I feel like playing at the time... Allright Allright Allright!
