I grew up in Hazelwood, MO as the youngest of four kids. I was very smart, got good grades, stayed out of trouble and thoroughly enjoyed high school. I went to Truman State University and majored in Physics. After a year or so I realized I couldn’t hack it so I changed my major to Spanish. By the time I had graduated college, I’d learned to play the bass guitar and to question what I had been taught about politics and religion. After college I was in a pop/punk/rock band called Somnia. We gained a small following in St. Louis and tried to get signed to a record deal. That didn’t happen.
Nowadays, I’m the lead singer and bassist in a cover band called Colonel Angus. We’re pretty damn good if I don’t say so myself. As my day job, I work for one of the world leaders in medical publishing as a hybrid of a secretary (not so fun) and a graphic/web designer (fun.) I’ve also completely forgotten how to speak Spanish because I’m stupid.
I’m recently single, having just come out of a 7.5 year relationship. Sometimes, the prospect of living by myself as a hermit for the rest of my life doesn’t seem like too far-fetched of an idea.
Let’s see, what else can I tell you - ahh, screw it. I’m just going to spout facts at random: I try to take a nap every day. . . I think the DVR is one of humankind's greatest inventions. . . I follow English Premier League soccer and I support Aston Villa. . . I love booze. . . I own and operate a t-shirt printing business with two of my best friends (www.tripleshotshirts.com). . . I think that video games used to be a lot cooler than they are now, even though I still play them. . . I collect Legos. . . I love old school rap (anything from the Golden Age of 1978 to 1995). . . I own a super cool Scion xB. . . I’m writing a novel that I hope to have finished sometime in the next 50 years. . . I love Mexican food.
