About Me

I am Happily Married to my dream girl, she is def. my ray of sunshine. I try to laugh as often as I can, humor can be found in just about anything, at least my demented mind thinks so..ha, ha.

I play drums in a band called "Mindtrip" and it consumes quite a bit of my free time (outside of the common 8-5 that pays the bills). I love to travel with my band, play new venues and most of all see new faces and meet new people. I’m fortunate enough to be able to do this with my band mates,four of the greatest friends I could ever ask for. Mindtrip is made up of 5 good friends making great music. We all hail from very different musical backgrounds and that always keep the writing process very fresh and original.

My Interests

My Band (www.Mindtriprocks.com or www.myspace.com/mindtriprocks), Music, Drums and Drum building, old Hot rods, Home Recording, Beer, Burbon, and oh...Rock and Roll.

I'd like to meet:

Henry Rollins, Dave Grohl and just about anybody cool with something intelligent to say.
