Well, by looking at my picture I am sure you can figure out that I am a musician. I have been playing for about 5 years now and about 3 years ago I joined my first band...ZILCH. (We have a page on here too, just look at my friends list). Playing music is honestly the most fun I have ever had in my life, but it doesn't pay the bills...yet! ;)
So for that I have my day job. All I will really say is that I work in the legal field. It is o.k., but losing its luster after 6 years.
I am also into all kinds of art. I have been drawing since I was a little kid, and went to art school for 2 years. I have done sculpute, painting, charcoal drawing, and 3D design. In my spare time I draw pencil sketchs for a little side cash and also build models and dioramas. From time to time I even help people with a little interior design (mostly just color/pattern selection for rooms) The following slideshow will show my latest drawings...I have also studied varuous martial arts since 1997. I have competed in a few tournaments and helped teach some classes through the years.
I started playing baseball when I was 4 and have now moved into the world of church league softball (a bit of a switch but still fun).
I have been golfing since I was 12. Played all throughout Jr. and Sr. Highschool, competed in some tournaments within PA, and still enjoy playing when I get the chance.
Finally, by looking at my page anyone should be able to see I have a great love/interest in anything Japanese. Someday I would love to visit Japan to see all of the temples,shrines,castles, and old villages that still remain. For the time being though I will just have to settle for looking at pictures and attempting to learn the language.Here is a new addition for all of those new friends of mine that are fellow drummers.
