About Me

I'm a Libra. I swear I'm not crazy! (Ok, maybe just a little bit.) I was born in Key West, FL on October the 17th, 1978. I like most types of music, except for country made after the late 70's/early 80's, gangster rap and classical. I am also into the industry side of music, from audio engineering and production to artist management and music law. I've had a million jobs and they've all pretty much sucked (except for working at a music store back in the day). In the past, I've collaborated with friends of mine who are talented lyricists, whether it was making a beat for them or being the audio engineer. Those lyricists can be found within my top 8 friends. I like to ride my skateboard and strum on my guitar. I'm not super-talented at either of these things, but they make me feel good inside. What else? Oh, I like nature and peace and quiet, too. I've come to appreciate the wilderness a lot more than I did when I was a teenager. Career-wise, I want to do something with my life that will give me the ability to own a home in the woods with some land (and a decent home studio), perhaps get married, MAYBE have a child one day, etc. I just want to make a living doing something that I love to do. And I want to have a positive impact on the world. I want to make the people around me happy. I want to be remembered for something good. I have been guilty of setting too many goals for myself at once and having unrealistic expectations, only to disappoint myself in the end. Now I just take things one day at a time. Life is too short to settle for less, but it is also too short to stress yourself out thinking about the future. The future is now.
