About Me

I consider myself a business professional. I own a real estate company in San Diego, and an Organic Avocado Grove. I enjoy real estate finance and locating funds to finance every imaginable real estate deal. I love to play my drum kit to nurture that connection to the soul...(any real musician can relate).I'm a musician at heart but a serious professionl in pursuit of my dreams and aspirations! If I could...I would definately bang-on-the-drum-all-day! But living in my car and eating at soup kitchens would quickly grow old. So I work hard...then play hard!

My Interests

Playing and listening to music (loud is good); farming my organic-avocado grove; pursuing my lifes work and vision; expanding my horizons; discovering my destiny; writing my movie script; and tapping on my dog's wet nose...

I'd like to meet:

Other business professionals looking to expand their network. Other musicians (relatively good quality and skilled who are looking to get back into the groove of playing). Any style and type will do, I prefer rock, jazz, country...or anyting that grooves or swings.Currently I'm in the process of forming: Bowling Team; Cooking Club; Organic-Garden Exchange (I got the land); Fresh-Water Fishing Club; Poker Circuit; Book exchange; and?ALBERT EINSTEIN: I could hang with "Big Al", in my favorite dive bar...and shoot the shit over a few beers!"VISION AND DESTINY UNFOLDS DAILY"

Music:

Will listen to anything once. But I prefer the quality hard and pop rock from the 70's, 80's, and the heavy new stuff as well. Old school country and blues is good. And as the mood changes I move up to traditional, swing and funky jazz (fun to play on the skins...man!)

Movies:

Pulp Fiction; 1940's stuff; God Father; A Bronx Tale; Good Fellows; Saving Private Ryan; Tombstone; Young Frankenstein; Anything Steve Martin.

Television:

Curb Your Enthusiasm; Reno 911; Some Sports; Nature TV; Science TV; History Channel; Cooking Channel; Weather (hey, I'm a Avocado Grower...I pray for rain!)

Books:

Biography; motivational and spiritual; mostly non-fiction stuff. Anything that will expand my mind!

Heroes:

Anyone who is loyal to and stand's up for....and willing to risk dying for the USA. Indians...and cowboys. Boys who help woman stranded on the freeway. Superman, or anyone with big enough huevos to stand up against evil. Andy "Anj" Taylor...and by default Barney (he'll watch your back!) People who are loyal...which narrows it down to a very few...and all dogs.
