About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~DOWN BY CONTACT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Im a musician with a beautiful, wonderful wife. Shes a nurse so she can take care of me when I bail right? I dig disc golf. Ive been playing for about 10 years and am a member of the East bay Disc Golf Club, PDGA member #18420 and co-founder of the Underground Disc Golf Association: Dedicated to creating rogue disc golf courses in parks everywhere. I love to travel especially the backroads of CALIFORNIA...I like to think I can play bass but Im reminded by people like Steve Digeorgio and Tony Levin that Im a rank amateur LOL!. My pals and I are a little outfit called 3rdrail out of Concord. We've been stoked to have been able to play the California Music Awards in 2003, and have played with and opened for great friends including Prong, Exodus, Systematic, Skinlab, and others. Our new CD "Between Eleven" is out now and will be playing a big CD release party in the near future......Ive been playing bass in local bay area bands for about 20 years, Planting Seeds, Scorched-Earth Policy, Permagrin, Uncalled 4, and Frontside being just a few...I collect hot sauces, bass guitars and plants and well, everything I have more than two of! I love football and tailgating and go to every home game for the Niners..... I sell Brentwood corn at the Farmers Market in Belmont and Concord as a hobby and for some extra cash. The sweetest corn ever. I love being able to barter with the other vendors for bread, veggies, fruits, herbs and flowers, all fresh and mostly organic!Im always busy and live for the day when I have nothing booked so I can go out and do a bunch of stuff..... Im a nautica freak and water turns me on especially waves.I love swimming..... Im S3 and am endorsed by a skate clothing company called Dirtbag Clothing as well as Morley pedals, EMG pickups and Dunlop...Im Purchasing Manager at one of the biggest pro audio dealers in the bay area so its nice that my hobby is my job....Ive traveled the world a couple times, living in Iran, Panama and Germany and traveling thru the Caribean and Central Americas, and Sandwich Islands and now am focusing on the state of California....

I took a random 4x4 road and found this beach! I snorkled with the turtles. We were the only ones on the beach...

Add to My Profile | More Videos oh man...I dig everything but hard drugs( had that shit take too many friends and people out of life) and hate or abuse. Disc golf, music, travel, camping, football, puttering around my house, gardening( I have a big green thumb). Music gear and sound engineering~I love to cook and BBQ and am a pretty good one. I make a bbq oyster /kinders tri-tip feast that will change your world....

I'd like to meet:

People who dig music and rocking out without pretensions....People who can have fun in any given situation...people who are self reliant and not dependant...I feel lucky because other than the bands in my friends list from different states, other than about 15 people, I know everyone on my list personally. And I love you all!

Music:

Man, I listen to everything, seriously. I come from the East Bay metal scene Ruthie's Inn forever so all those bands have special place in my heart- Exodus, Sacrilege BC, Fang, Special Forces, Attitude Adjustment, RKL, Pillage Sunday, Blind Illusion, Violent Coercion to name a few.~~~~~~~~~~~The mighty Corrosion of Conformity~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I just have to have the tunes for my mood or I'll run to the record store... All these influences show in my playing styles...Here's whats sitting on my CD player from last weeks listening:~~~~~~~Temple of the Dog, Seal , Exodus , Fishbone , The Police , Beyond Possession , Soundgarden , Smashing Pumpkins , TAD , Mnemic , HUM , NIN , Houston (RIP), Quarmoshi , anthrax , Deftones , Bob Marley , Poison the Well, DMB , meshuggah , Sade , Shiner , Filter, Pink Floyd, Korn , Slayer. Clearing Autumn Skies , Audioslave , Radiohead, Prodigy , Depeche Mode , Yes , HedPe , Rush(live) , Metallica(old) , Lavish Green , Elton John , Skrape , Soundgarden Sublime , MNM , Johnny Cash , Houston , Fat Boy Slim , Victims Family , Incubus , COC , Steel Pulse , Aerosmith , Public Enemy , Fellatia , Pantera , Bach , Spiral Arms , Faith No More , Coroner , Ozomatli , Enya , Bad Brains , INXS , Fear Factory , Tears for Fears , No Doubt , Curtis Mayfield , Master and Commander Soundtrack , Blade Runner Soundrtrack & Ben Harper !!!!!!!Ive got to figure out a way to store and catagorize my 1000+ CD collection~~~~~~~~.

Movies:

I love war movies...dunno why, just do. Maybe its the human drama....MY favorite movie of all time is Blade Runner. Who wouldnt want to know what date they had to die?I love going to the movies and I try to collect Academy Award Best Pictures...It would be silly to list all my favs . I really get into the whole cinematography aspect, thanks to a couple courses in college.

Television:

Love the NFL and Sunday ticket ....season ticket holder for the Niners UFC AND MMA

Books:

At least two a week, no joke. History is my fav (if you dont know it, you're doomed to repeat it) but I should get an account at the Used Book Store in Concord....I normally have two to three books going at one time.

Heroes:

People who overcome adversity to succeed...my dad for being the most respectable man I know and my mom for sticking with him thru thick and thin.....Mellybelle and all nurses. Im the worst patient but I've promised her I'd be good in the future...Pat Tillman and all those heroes overseas...especially the ones who arent coming back. Bay Area Guitar Phenom Jason Becker for remaining strong in the face of Lou Gehrings Disease, a disease which claimed my aunt years ago. Jason is bedridden yet he still composes with the help of his father.. Kevin Lunny at Drakes Bay Farms for cleaning up the estuary and promoting the best self regenerative source of protein known to man-Oysters! He's worked tirelessly to promote organic foods and is doing his best to keep the oyster farm open. However, the state is making him close down after 60 years to "reclaim" and restore the Drakes estuary. Only an act of Congress can stop this so go to the farm, buy some oysters and fill out the petition!
