About Me

Guitars, guitars and guitars. Nothing better than a Jackson/Charvel guitar. Old school shredders. If it doesn't involve my wife, my dogs, or work it's all about guitars or KISS. I could talk all day about guitars and KISS. But, I won't bore you with all of that. I am a very fortunate person. I have a beautiful wife and the coolest little dude for a son. 2 awesome sheltie dogs Jack and Tress and a fat ass cat Radar. Life has it's little ups and downs here and there but you just deal with it and move on. No time for drama. It's all good. I couldn't have it any better.I play guitar in an original metal band called AWAKENED. We are booking shows now and will start playing out on a regular basis as of July 20th. It's my passion and what I love to do. I am a veteran of the Gulf War. I am extremely proud of my service and any veteran or service member. These are the true heroes of our day. These are amazing and wonderful people and should be treated with the upmost respect. Whenever you are out and you see a soldier, stop and say thank you. It is the very least any of us can do. We owe it to them.

My Interests

Music. .. computer games. Concerts. Traveling. Playing my guitars. I would be lost without my guitars. Playing with my dogs. Oh yeah. I have a pretty hot wife who keeps me pretty busy too.

I'd like to meet:

People who want to give me all their money. At least i'm being honest. Paul Stanley. Ace frehley. Randy Rhoads. George Bush sr. Franklin Roosevelt. Gen. Norman Schwartzkoff. Pretty much any musician who has ever written something that has moved me so i could just say thank you. And hopefully god.

Music:

Damn near anything from barry manilow to Slipknot. No rap whatsoever. Been on a bit of a country kick lately but I am mainly an old school metal fan. Way too many bands to list. I am a massive KISS fan. The greatest band the world has ever and will ever see.

Movies:

The Shawshank Redemption is the best movie ever made. Period. Forrest Gump. What an awesome movie. Grease. RockStar. Spinal Tap. Star Wars. It's unamerican to not like Star Wars. They all rule. All the Star Trek's. Shatner is a stud. Anything with Robin Williams, Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman.

Television:

The History channel. The military channel. Anything about war, especially WWII. Extreme Make-over Home Edition. Lost. Heroes. Jericho. Survivor. Big brother. CSI. MASH reruns. Americas Funniest Home Videos. It never gets old watching some kid wack his dad in the nuts.

Books:

Anything by Dean koontz and John Saul. Guitar World

Heroes:

So many heroes. God. War veterans. We owe everything to them. My friend Jimmy Sladek. He was always there for me and taught me so much. It just took me awhile to implement it. FDR. No better man for the time. Ace frehley. He inspired me to be the best guitarist I could possibly be and reminds me that no matter what, it's supposed to be fun. .. width="425" height="350" ...... width="425" height="350" ...... width="425" height="350" ...... width="425" height="350" ...... width="425" height="350" ...... width="425" height="350" ....
