About Me

The forward to a book I wrote when I was 12 states: "I am a very strange child, and I have a lot of stress on my shoulders."

I have recently developed an abnormal obsession for seeking out good BBQ. And if you've had it...you'll know why.

I have logged some serious time in rural Botswana and South Africa where I am known as "the white guy".

And my shit don't stink!

You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

My other life

Everyday I wonder how much more fun my life would have been if I would have stayed involved in the music industry. Giving that up was a pretty stupid move. Maybe somebody will give me a job.

Human Subject Research
