About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
My name is Jeff and I work in a IT world, eventually would like to work with animation and design at one point. My time is stretched between work and music. Im laidback, I like video games, I question everything, I love Science which was my major in college, haunted places, I love animals, I like learning new things and taking on different challenges. Would love to experience new cultures and visit different countries. Counting down the days when Buffalo will be the past and looking forward to the future whatever city or country that may bring. I am a perfectionist and always expect the highest from myself, stubborn at times and yet demanding of myself. I believe the way you act towards someone or something is what you are going to get in return. I am my toughest critic and I am never satisfied. I am goal driven and If I believe in something it usually comes to me. If I let you in and even confide in you or become close to me in my circle of friends, that you will get a new person you never thought existed and a very loyal person who will always get your back no matter what. I used to DJ on Saturday nights at the Continental in Buffalo, NY. I currently DJ at Red Square in St. Catherines. I DJ at OPM on Fridays (Radiation Fridays) and do guest slots as well I have been Dj'ing for 9 years at various clubs spanning 2 countries.

My Interests

Music, Music, Music, Mixing software, baseball, video games, DJ'ing, my keyboard ( Prophet 2000 )ice hockey, big cities, Aqua teens, Art, Mueseums, Exibits, Fashion, Composing, Photography, Anime, computer design, Documentories, Macintosh computers, Architectural Structure, Tim Burton, Oceanography & Music.

I'd like to meet:

Steve Naghavi, people who are "real" in the scene (posuers need not apply, I had to introduce who VNV, Covenant, Combichrist etc, etc in the past and I have no time for that anymore) and People who would stimulate my mind and people that are true to themselves and are not fake and pretend to be something their not, stuff like that I can see through. People who tell it like it is and wear their emotions on their sleeves. Dedicated people who strive and who have the determination to succeed. People who stick with you thru the bad times and believe in you which is the truest test of any relationship. People that are kind spirits and have the drive to help out animals since they cant help themselves and to do wonderful things as to organize awareness and education to such causes. I've been lucky to have known many people who I consider friends and cherish the ones that I consider close friends, no matter what happens they are there for you and that is richer than anything I could ever ask for.
