Imagination is not a Talent of some men but is the Health of every man.

About Me


Things creative and entertaining keep me alive. My family & friends keep me grounded and humble. And, more importantly, I don't want my work or my career to define me, I want my relationships with my family and friends to define me.

FAMILY & FRIENDS:




SOMEDAY (ODE TO THE CHICAGO CUBS):

THE JOURNEY WITH "MAD COWGIRL" (2005 - 2006)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Long lost cousins and relatives, old friends from Illinois, Indiana and the Midwest, former classmates in Chicago, Fairfax High Alumni and CSUN Alumni, former colleagues. And, new folks as well (though, I would prefer if you know somebody in my network). Thanks!

THE HOLLYWOOD JOURNEY: 1989 - PRESENT

..

Music:

Progressive music, ambient sounds, trans/electronic, 80s decade music, Bollywood, 70s rock, Motown, jazz & blues and reggae.
