Bartenders hate a cheap-ass, remember that.

About Me

Hmmm...how to describe one's self without sounding like a shameless self-promoter? Well, for the most part I am a fairly normal guy, a little shy around strangers, loyal to my friends, and I try to be honest so if you are afraid of the answer don't ask me. I do lack patience, but I am better than I used to be. I like to hang out with my friends whether we go drinking and dancing or just to the coffee shop and do the daily crossword, friends ARE life.I am a bartender and a DJ(if that wasn't evident since every friend comment mentions it), I put my college degrees to good use, huh? But most times I really enjoy what I do and can't imagine working normal job hours. Only bad part is no paid vacation, I don't work, I don't get paid. I think I have been dj'ing professionally for almost 10 years now, and all kinds of music. The bartending thing is more recent, only 4 years. I am also an artist, not really good, but I like it, welding and casting stuff is awesome and I am pretty good at silk screening prints too. Only thing bad about being out of school is not having access to the equipment.
