About Me

I'm in L.A. to make music, whether by writing it, playing it, or my personal best aspect, recording it. I work at a recording studio and am "paying my dues" working to get to the next level. Right now I am working with all sort of artists, from all different backgrounds and love what I do. Here is my webpage with Independent artists that I have worked with.

My Interests

Some of the things that seem to keep me interested. Music, Movies, Computers, the Beach, Playstation, my WII and people. People really interest me simply because everyone is so different, but even though we collectively strive to be individuals, we all long for acceptance. Everyone has different priorities, but at the same time, we are all just looking for a little happiness and satisfaction.

I'd like to meet:

I have been very fortunate in my life and have gotten to many of my heroes. But, I am always open to meeting and working with more. Some of my in studio experience has led me to work with: John Mayer, Tim Armstrong, Marilyn Manson, Fergie, BuckCherry, Steve Jordan, Chrissie Hynde, Keb Mo, and the late Ruth Brown."Sometimes I'm afraid I'll go berserk, throw the country A-K rack out into the street and go work at a Virgin megastore and never come back."-- High Fidelity

Music:

I am a lover of all music, but some of the artists that have made a huge impact are: The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Face To Face,Marilyn Manson, Beastie Boys, Kenny Chesney Tim McGraw, Eminem,TOOL,Ray Charles, Sevendust and Sublime

Movies:

Fight Club, High Fidelity, Tom Dowd and the language of Music, Lord of the Rings, Team America, Borat and anything else that is good for a laugh or magically inspiring.
Which Trainspotting Character Are You?

Television:

Simspons, Southpark, Family Guy, Chapelle's Show, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Deadliest Catch, Big Bang Theory, Ghost Hunters and anything else that can hold my attention.

Ponderings from a fortune cookie

As I sit here blankly staring at this computer screen, I started to think about the fortune cookie that I got the other day. It said, "a man never fails, unless he gives up." As I sit here pondering...
