About Me

Brief summary: I grew up in the East County, where video games were king -- like Atari, Intellivision, C64, etc....took piano lessons as a kid, played drums in several bands...used to run a 24-track analog facility - 9th Ring Studios in La Mesa & produced/engineered a lot of local punk releases some time ago...now producing/editing TV shows full-time for CTN - San Diego County's TV station, including a music show called 'JAVA JAMS'... played synths/drum pads/atari 2600 in AIRPORT 81 and currently in two projects: GAMMA GAMMA, a studio project -- now signed -- which utilizes all the weapons at my humble studio, the "Private Arcade" , and ALPHA CHANNEL, with Etch (Sq. root of x). Live shows and touring in the near future...Married with 2 awesome young ones & living close to the beach. Stay tuned, as always.
