About Me


"Life is short and if you're looking for extension,
With your time, you had best do well,
Cause there's good deeds and there is good intention,
They're as far apart as heaven and hell."
-- Ben Harper "Ground On Down"
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared."
-Buddha
"Indifference is the strongest force in the universe.
It makes everything it touches meaningless.
Love and hate don't stand a chance against it."
-The Snow Queen
In Memory of Nej (1984 - 2005)

I am a musician/songwriter/guitarist going on 30 years now. I play mostly heavier hard rock with influences ranging from ska to jazz and funk to metal. http://www.rumorsofwar.org/ is the last band I was in. I was also in Froglick and Swim Herschel Swim. You can DL MP3's for both bands at the Froglick site.
I want to discover everything and only have a limited amount of time. Stupid procrastination is my closest buddy. I don't think he's a good influence.
Ecstasy -Maxfield Parrish
I have this print in my band room/studio. It has been my favorite piece for many years and expresses how I feel about life, beauty, love, passion, color, imagery, women, and music. It's called "Ecstasy". You can see more of Maxfield Parrish's work here
I am currently administering and moderating the following sites:
