I play bass. Swear to God I do. Wanna buy a boat?

About Me

I am a 27 year old bass player/shift manager from Marion IN. I am one of the managers at the Pizza Hut Italian Bistro. As a musician, I am the bassist for the Hiles Brothers band, which is a local blues rock band. So come check us out! I also play bass for First United Methodist Church here in Marion. Along with all that, I'm always looking for new people to jam with. My best friend John is an aspiring musician as well, and I have a lot of close friends that are awesome at their craft. Anytime I can be on stage, I am happy.

My Interests

Music is probably my biggest interest. I am also into Movies. Since I used to manage a video store, I'm always spouting off with some offbeat movie quote. If you get it, it's hilarious. If you don't, you may look at me and wonder if I took my meds today. lol. Beyond that, I enjoy golf, PS2 and XBox 360, Hiking, Target Shooting, and Wine and Cooking. I love to cook, especially if I can pair it with a good wine. Also into exotic beers, imported and microbrews. No domestic, please. Well, unless I'm playing Beer Pong. Then it's ok. ;)

I'd like to meet:

A lot of different people. Like I mentioned above, I'm always looking for new musicians to jam with. Chances are, if you need a bass player, I'm your huckleberry. Along with musicians, I just want to find interesting people on here. Whether it is someone I went to school with or someone completely new. If you are cool, hit me up.

Music:

Far too many to mention. As a bass player, I love funk, jazz, prog rock, about anything that challenges me to be a better musician. Favorite bands being Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush, Dream Theater, stuff like that. I also stick true to my roots. I'm still down with the heavy music, since that is where I started. Current faves being Mudvayne and Shadows Fall. If you haven't heard Shadows Fall, check them out! Above all, I love the funk though. From new stuff, to old school, as long as it is funknasty, I'm down. I like music where I can just hang in the pocket. "You can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket."

How funkafied are you?
George Clinton be thine name!
You are the original Funkmaster. Prepare to board the spaceship. Repeat after me: "I pledge allegiance, to the funk..."

Movies:

Sideways is one of my favorite movies. I generally like comedies. Napoleon Dynamite was good, but Benchwarmers was better. Super Troopers is another favorite movie of all time. (Say Car Ramrod!). Police Academy is a classic, as are Office Space, and most Mel Brooks films. I like horror movies if they are good. I don't watch many dramas, but there are some good ones out there. Crash was probably the best one I've seen in the last couple years. And yes, I cried during the Notebook. Deal with it. lol

Television:

EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, FAMILY GUY, DEXTER, DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER, RENO 911, THE CRITIC, FRIENDS, MIND OF MENCIA, THE SARAH SILVERMAN SHOW, Etc.

Books:

Jaco - Extraordinary and Tragic Life; Victor Wooten - Me and my Bass Guitar; Phil Lesh - Searching for the Sound; Ray Romano - Everything and Kite

Heroes:

Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Norm Stockton, Stu Hamm, Steve Bailey, Jaco Pastorius, Flea, Les Claypool, Adam Nitti, Rhonda Smith, Geddy Lee, Micheal Manring, John Patitucci, Nathan East, Bill "The Buddha" Dickens, etc.
