About Me



I absolutely love music and everything about it. I am married to the most beautiful, honest and sincere person I have ever met. I love movies, mainly horror. I love dogs. My job is a pain in the ass but I like it. I also enjoy recording and producing music. I play lead guitar in the Philly local band, IKE. And it rocks, hard.

My Interests

4 8 15 16 23 42. Movies, music, writing, recording and producing local bands and myself, taking pictures, reading, gaming, dogs and sleeping...and my most favorite person in the world, Susie Q. Now, how precious is that? I also love trying to figure out what the hell is going on on "L O S T". That takes up a lot of time.

All members of U2, Brian Wilson, Al Pacino, David Lynch, Larry David, Kevin Smith and M. Night Syhamalan. My dream is to join the cast of "The Office." I think I'd fit right in.

Movies:



I LOVE MOVIES!!! My parents think I get "too involved" with movies. Like, if I say, "Wow, the cinematography in "The Village" was incredible". They will look at me and say I'm an asshole. But, I love everything about film. There are too many to list so I'll just do some of them:

Donnie Darko, Se7en, Fight Club, American Psycho, The Godfather 1 & 2, All David Lynch films, all Steven Spielberg films, all Quentin Tarantino films, Christopher Nolan films, all PIXAR films, every Al Pacino film, all John Carpenter films primarily HALLOWEEN, Matrix Trilogy, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars (all 6 films), Harry Potter films, Kevin Smith films, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Pirates of the Carribbean, Tartan Asian Extreme films - Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, H, Alien / Aliens, etc...just too many to list...
