About Me

What do you want to know? I'm in my early thirties, married the greatest woman to walk the planet whom I still adore after 13 years of marriage, I have the two cutest kids ever (no seriously that's not just proud papa talk, they're the cutest I swear), I graduated high school went straight to a four year university (UC Davis - GO AGGIES!!!) and got a degree in Communications and Political Science. Went straight to law school (Arizona State) got great grades, drank the Kool Aid, and found myself in a very high paying job for the next 8 years for two of the largest law firms in Arizona. And I hated my life. And I was a miserable bastard to be around. Soooooo, I quit that gig, moved back to California where I was from originally, went back to my first love - music. Spent some time on the road with my band, INTERSTATE. Working on the second cd. In November 05, I was asked to join the group FOURWAYFREE as their lead guitarist, and I have been touring the country with them every since. I still teach guitar, and I am the owner if a music store, called The Music Tree. I've got more time with my family and friends, I love what I do, and life has never been better. A sickening sweet story? Maybe. But, I don't care, its mine. If you hate what you do, get out, it really is that simple. Didn't think so at one time, but trust me, it is.What do I like? and dislike? I like, most music, Fender guitars and amps, staying up too late, movies, coaching my son in soccer, being in the recording studio, rehearsing and performing with my bands, a good political debate with intellectually honest people, pissing off the politically correct, sleeping in, motorcycle boots, the Steelers, watching my parents be grandparents, listening to my daughter sing, playing my guitar, getting that lyric right, watching my son tell a story, Disneyland, Jack Daniels, Padron tequila, sushi, and soft pillows.I dislike, stupid people, computer generated guitar amp sounds, wearing earplugs (but I still do), Bible thumpers, Bible bashers, people who defend Keanu Reeves' acting ability, alarmists, extremists, ad hominem attacks in the place of legitimate argument, people who can't laugh at themselves, electric razors, most local newscasts, all snakes and alot of lawyers.
