Born and raised in the Orlando, Florida, area. Moved to San Francisco in November 1999. Fell madly in love in late 2003 with my fiancee . She just gave birth to our first child. It's a boy! His name is Devin and was born on August 21, 2006, in Walnut Creek, California, just east of San Francisco.
I work in video production...basically in all areas from prepping, camera work, lighting, studio work, capturing, editing, post-production, publishing, organizing, live events, technology....like an all-in-one dude. It's how we do things where I've worked for the past seven years. I have moved into dealing with high-definition video the past few months. My goodness, HD editing systems costs so much money!
Spundae represent! Support EDM (Electronic Dance Music). Don't let the media fool you into thinking EDM events are mainly filled with idiots full of substances. Find the right party to support and enjoy the experience that only the music and vibe (and nothing else...except maybe alcohol :p) bring you. If you need more than just good music, a good vibe, and maybe a couple drinks to enjoy a night of EDM, get lost. It's people like you who give the scene the bad wrap; allow the media to be able to stereotype the scene.
Dabbing a bit into photography at clubs.
Try to leave my work life at work and keep my home life at home. Trying to balance the importance between the two especially as Michelle and I move forward and especially since we just had our first chld. What's first priority is obvious, just a matter of finding that right balance where everyone is happy. Only if work was a simple 9-5 job....heh. :)
Am a person that from the outside can seem like one person and sometimes it's not flattering. But take the time (even like an hour!) and get to know me a bit and interact with me, and you will see that I am easily misjudged!
I'm a guy that one minute can seem a tad smug then suddenly be laughing my ass off at the stupidest thing. Or mumbling some dumb joke no one understands. I can be real tough or a real softy. I can be really pissed off or really hurt and not be afraid to show either. Guess you could say that from the outside I'm easily misunderstood, but get to know me and I'm just a nice guy who tries to get along with everyone and am usually successful at it.
Again, don't judge me by my online persona. My personality online and in person is like night-and-day. In person: (Too?) nice, corky guy who is courteous, tries to treat everyone well and friendly. I'm very observent of all things around me. I'm direct with people about my opinion, but usually don't express my opinion on most matter unless I'm asked. Online: More a straight-shooter who is full of constructive criticism. I take what I analyse from club nights and express my thoughts in great detail. Definitely still a straight shooter and I make my opinion known -- I think largely because I'm better at expressing my opinion when typing than when saying it vocally. When I express my opinion, I try to do it in a way not to offend anyone; guess you could say in a somewhat professional manner. At least, that's what I try to do.
Confused yet? I sure am!
All in all, I'm just a guy. A guy who wants to marry the person he loves, a guy who loves his baby boy, a guy who really enjoys his work, a guy who is maybe too passionate about EDM and especially trying to improve the scene. I'm a guy who just wants to be happy in life. Michelle, Devin, work, EDM, Spundae, my family, and a few friends...that's all that really makes me happy and all I need to make me happy. I don't think I'm asking for too much out of life. Hopefully life treats me well in return.
Not much else to really say. At least not right now.
