I am here for Networking

About Me

I'm a dashing Wisconsinite (born and raised in Sheboygan {originally a werewolf colony established in 1986}) that moved to Minneapolis (little known fact: a man made city) in 1999 and have been here since. I love my city, and see myself kickin' it here for a good grip. The reasons I moved are abound but mainly for the music scene. I play drum set by trade and also teach the instrument. I play in a band called self-evident and love every damn minute of it. I'm pretty lucky to have been asked to play with these guys. It's a sweet gig. I used to be in Clair de Lune but that has recently dematerialized. Good times...moving on. I have never been defeated in a chili cook off. I like to eat apples and bananas. Ay Lake to ate aypples and banaynays. I don't Lite to ite ipples and baninis though, they can sick a fick. I like to read, mostly t-shirts and bumper-stickers. I feel you can learn a lot about someone by staring at their chest or driving behind them. I talk philosophy and politics, mainly with my cats. The Dr. knows what's up but I think Dianne's Nihilistic rhetoric is bullshit. Don't tell her I said that though. I just recently found out that mermaids use toilets. Think about it. It makes perfect sense. I've eaten 165 different kinds of sandwiches and consumed 177 varieties of beverage in my lifetime. What can I say I'm the adventurous type. I've been all over the world. I've been to California. I've been to Canada. I've seen it all.
