All my heroes have now become ghosts

About Me


Courtesy of SparkleTags.comI am the bass guitarist for Last Stone Cast, a musician, writer and special education teacher in Cleveland/Akron, Ohio. I have a serious interest in rock music, and have been fortunate to turn that obsession into a life. So far, anyway. In my former life I was a criminal justice and sociology professor at a number of universities including Wake Forest University and The College of Wooster. I have a Ph.D. in social theory from Kent State University. What this amounts to is that I am dangerously over-educated and over-qualified. So now I spend my time making music with my band, hanging out with my friends, spending time with my girlfriend Debbie, and waiting around for something to happen. Or for it to happen again...either will work.
