Music. Mind-expanding psychoactive substances. Import beer. Love. Recording/sound engineering. Musical gear of any sort. Classic amplifiers, guitars, drums, basses, synthesizers. Stimulating conversation. Free will, freedom of choice, freedom of speech. Not being a 'scene kid' and making an ass out of myself on a daily basis like a rather large percentage of my generation. Hot showers.
Like-minded musicians who would like to collaborate on a new project.

Everyone I know to a certain extent in some way or another. My father especially for saving my ass more times than I can count. Albert Hoffman. Chris Hannah. Bob Nanna. Joe Philips, D. Lee, Brian Galindo and Bruce 'Darrin Hunt' Lee for all of the amazing music they made together and for all those good shows. Stephen Howard for helping me out when I needed it most. All of the musicians I listed. Everyone who appreciates the labor I put into making my music... If you haven't heard me yet you will some day.
