About Me

I'm a vegetarian, bassoonist from Miami, Fl. I live in West Kendall very close to where I grew up. I work for Ars Flores Symphony as the Orchestra Manager in Ft. Lauderdale.

My Interests

Music, philosophy, technology, anime, photoshop, photography, movies. I like detail stuff like making reeds, editing photos, organizing stuff (other people's, hardly my own), etc.These are my two nieces (my sister's kids) I'm trying to learn how to mess with photoshop. How's this?

Kurt Vonnegut, Carl Hiaasen, Ayn Rand, My Ancestors, So many others....

Music:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ani DiFranco, System of a down, Jason White, almost anything Classical (not that modern, minimalistic bullcrap though), Jazz, Funk, Blues, whatever someone can make sound good, oh yeah and of course good bassoon solo music (i've got to support!)

Movies:
