About Me



- - I am a partner at Brown, Haaker & Owen Land Surveying company. I specialize in land development projects, flood zone issues, and subdivision platting. I'm also a musician, audio engineer and producer. I have recorded for several different labels including MCA records.I play lead guitar for a band in Gainesville called BadMax and occasionally for Miami based Critical Mass. CM has the distinction of being the first recorded punk band (1978)from the State of Florida. We were also one of the earliest rock bands to be signed to a major label (MCA Records 1980) out of Miami. I also have a small project studio called Monster Recording in Gainesville, Fl. I have one son, Nicholas (2 yrs) who means the world to me, and a Chinese Shar-Pei named Choppy. I am currently going through a divorce from my soon to be ex-wife and trying to keep things as amicable as possible.
