About Me

Create your own custom MySpace Layouts

I am the father of four beautiful children. I am a musician that has had the priveledge of working with a multitude of bands and styles. Fortunate enough to have played music all across these United States. I am an operationally minded socialist leaning individual.I have had a checkered past and continue to work through the ramifications. Currently have a support network that I could not have imagined, some of which have been met here then met personally, some never met personally and some not here at all.Creativity and unity are the two most important things when it comes to music and relationships. Being able to hear each other and compliment and enhance each other to bring the best out of the relationship musically or personally is the highest goal.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't attention whores (that's my job) People who will take the time to discuss subjects at length, not in soundbites. People, who when they are uncomfortable decide to explore what it is they are uncomfortable about and don't blow it off with a joke. People who are transparent in their e-motions, attitudes and beliefs. People who give a damn about other people.
