I'm partner and founder in a few business and musical projects. The top one's on the list right now are:
Kore Underground, Inc. - an artist development company
Mix It Up Entertainment - a mobile DJ service
I play guitar (electric, acoustic, classical), Native American Flute, I'm rusty on the saxophone, and I can get around on a piano/keyboard all right.
I also work out of my home during the day as a manager of information security for an international company. What is that you say? I'm the guy that tries to make sure your identity doesn't get stolen and that the company I work for doesn't fall victim to espionage, theft, and other crimes via the internet or physical means.
A little about where I came from, my history or whatever:
I used to play in a band named Altered
that toured around regionally for about 5 years based out of Dallas.
We played with bands such as:
Breaking Benjamin
Trust Company
Flyleaf
W.A.S.P.
Faktion
Neverset
Downlo
and a host of other bands that you may or may never have heard of...
We did pretty well for a local band out of Dallas. We got to play live on the air during drive-time on 97.1FM KEGL multiple times [Thanks to Cindy Skull and Robert!].
I got into computers in elementary school, was hacking the phone company by 14
and it was a natural progression into my day job from there, but the entertainment industry is where I've always felt at home...
I love the people, the artists, the struggles, even the game to a degree. I've made so many memories, friends, and had so many experiences that I've forgotten some just to make room for more.
As a kid I was always into music, but I was into acting as well. I was a model and did print work for JC Penny, Walmart, and a few others. I did film work as an extra and several industrial films. In high school I won first place with a friend of mine in a duet acting competition where we performed "Rosencrantz And Gildenstern Are Dead." [they're the guys in Hamlet that get killed, it was their story and pretty funny] I also performed in multiple plays in the local theater.
I am lucky enough to have several life-long friends, though they don't live near me anymore or are married and off doing their own thing these days.
Other than what I have mentioned above, I like Science Fiction/Fantasy/Action/Adventure/Comedy books, movies, and tv shows. I also study world religions, philosophy, psychology, the sciences, and have a different take on "reality" when it comes to my spiritual life. I accept all religions, and even the absence of religion, as valid paths towards the same ultimate ending. We are all intertwined, separation is an illusion.
Everything has a purpose.
If you have any further questions... ask. ;)
