About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
I'm a drummer, plumber, surfer, and futures, stock, and stock options trader who dabbles in jiu jitsu and boxing when I'm not too lazy. In 2008 I have begun to study kickboxing and stick/knife fighting and aim to persevere until I am a skilled and well-rounded martial artist. I'm generally laid back but can dish out a fierce and intense burst of energy when I get fired up. Drumming is my best skill and purest form of expression. I started out an old school punk rocker. Now I'm playing classic rock. My taste is pretty eclectic, I like roots reggae, jazz, fusion, metal, funk, as long as substance is the emphasis, not image. I will hit you in your funny bone when you least expect it. I like to mimic and do impressions and am sometimes boisterous and sarcastic. I have a way with words, so I've been told, especially when writing. I have a beautiful girlfriend Nina whom I love to death and she rules. We have a dog named Artimus aka The Meat Bus. She's meaty and her breath stinks. I have many friends from different places and connections but I still keep "my world" pretty small and low-key. I've been in 30 or so bands/projects over the years, mostly classic rock/improvisational, blues/blues rock, metal, deathmeatal/gindcore, and hardcore punk rock. As for my current music "career" I play with Malibu's own rockers 27 Miles with my old buddies Kevin Solomon and Donny Kulp.
