I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

..By day I work as a member of Geek Squad, by night I alternate as a DJ, Photographer, and Layabout...As a DJ I go by the name DJ Grimm, and I am the founder and host to Aphelion, one of the only Goth/Industrial/Fetish shows in Iowa. I'm very proud that my Freinds and I have been able to keep something going here for over 6 years, though thick and thin, trials, tribulation, heartache and pain. I'm hoping we can continue for a hell of a lot longer...I'm engaged to a beautiful woman who is also one of my opening DJs, by the name of Angie. We've been together for over 6 years now, and look forward to a enticing future together...There's an old Irish proverb I like to follow: Dance as if no one is watching, Sing as if no one is listening, Live every day as if it's your last. I guess it cuts right to the heart for me...I've set up a profile on Deviantart.com to show off some of my photos, take a look if you'd like....www.salemburn.deviantart.comThat's about it, stick a fork in me....

My Interests

DJing, Photography, Setting fire to nuns, Watching Movies, Insomnia, Ghost and Paranormal Occurances, Body Piercing, Smoke-ring Hurtles, Computers, Role-Playing Games, Anime, Dressing up in a grass skirt and running laps at the local PTA meetings, The critters crawling around in my yard...

La dee da.... Work can be so fun....

So, I've been in my new position at BB for a bit now, as a "Counter Operations Officer" (I still think I should be on a tactical assault team with a name like that), and have re-asserted a conclusion ...
