About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Spirals and more spirals...

Hey guys! Here is the latest updates on what's going on with me. I have been proud to serve in the US Air Force the past 16 years (4 to go til I could retire). I currently am an aircraft mechanic at Pope AFB, NC near Fayetteville, NC. My hobbies include music and computers. As you can see from my pictures I have alot of geeky toys relating to recording music. I am currently studying guitar under George Lynch Click Here and am beginning the guitar program at Berklee school of music in April. I do the websites for several different people such as Cape Fear Music Center . If you want to see a video of me, check out the Guy Unger guitar lesson on the music store website in the media player. I am also learning the art of saxophone rebuilding in my spare time (hahaha spare time). I am currently rebuilding a silver 1929 Martin Handcraft alto.I play an online game (way too much) called Everquest 2. I have a pretty good level 80 wizard on the PVE side and a 48 wizzy on the pvp side that I am trying to level up. On a more healthy side, I am working towards my yellow bet in Chito- Ryu karate.
