Mojo, we miss you - love your family.

About Me

Easy going, mellow guy that likes everything to go smoothly. But when I reach the breaking point a sudde n explosion will occur, watch out. Love to be on stage playing music, but hate waiting to play. Strange sense of humor. Love my family. Love soccer- go DC United and college basketball, go Terps. I hate Duke. Love naps. Love good beer or a great bottle of wine. Wish I had a full head of dreadlocks, an apartment in Copenhagen, and more time and money to see the world. Maybe in the next life. I palyed bass guitar in Revelations (Bowie), Freak Beans (Annapolis), Glazeride (Baltimore), and currently LandSpeedRecord! (Baltimore)- for the last ten years. LSR! hopes to release our latest recording in Fall 2007. So much more to me, so lets keep it a surprise, huh.
