About Me

.. I like music, film, computers, guitars, video editing, memorabilia, cars, bikes, and females. And not in that order. I have few close friends, and the ones that are, are for life. Family means everything. Families I mean my real family (first and foremost!) and my other two families..."The Famiglia of LOA", and the "Roach Family". I work on the road for many months out of the year for various touring bands and merch companies. It is a great job and I get to meet some really cool people and see some breathtaking sights all over the world. Drop me a line....I may be in your town soon and we can chat and have an Absolut and whatever....you're buyin' by the way....
