About Me

I've Lived in Carbondale for the last 4 and half years or so, where I attended SIUC and earned two BFA's. I am a metalsmith by trade, and work as a contruction worker to keep the money flowing. Mostly i focus on reliquaries and funerary art. Music is very important to me being a vocalist as well as a lyricist. I recently go mariied to my girlfriend of six years on in June so we're now a real family consisting of Myself, Chrystal, our dog Ollie, our cat Gino, and our two snakes Odin and Aphrodite. I claim no religion and rely on no greater power to make my life satisfactory. I rely on myself and believe in using your own inner strength to get you through tough times.------------------------------------------------------ --- I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
