Not for anything, Tone, but it beats standing around in the snow scratching your ass...

About Me


ATTENTION: UNLESS I KNOW YOU PERSONALLY, I DO NOT APPROVE PRIVATE PROFILES. THANK YOU. DRIVE THROUGH...
RUSH fan extrodinaire, licensed massage therapist and personal trainer (NYC). Rock photographer, stand-up philosopher, exercise enthusiast. (I like to stay in shape and the shape I'm going for is TRAPEZOID!) Heavy metal/hard rock/progressive rock/goth rock/rockabilly rule my world, but I'm open to most forms of music, including great singers like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and k.d. lang. I'm generally friendly, although sometimes I like to keep to myself and I'm pretty private, choosing only to share things with those I know I can trust. I prefer being in small groups of friends because I love to LISTEN as much as I love to talk (a rare trait these days, yes?). My sense of humor is a little crass and I'm not easily offended, so I enjoy being around people who aren't afraid to be themselves. Life is too short and we all need to lighten up and laugh a little more - especially at ourselves. :)
I love hugging and kissing, metal, chocolate, band photography, warm weather, good vodka, great friends, my family, laughter, being dorky, the full moon, sexy shoes, long hot baths, corsets, black clothing, ice cream, gummi bears, cozy pajamas, oversized sunglasses, my car, a full tank of gas and lazy Sundays.

My Interests

Here's a very small sample of some of my photography. This site is a work in progress, so keep checking back for new additions.

Heavy metal, digital photography, working out, aromatherapy, exercise science, baking, reading, trying to cook (notice I said, "trying." Haha), ancient cultures, Wicca, Paganism, traveling (when I can afford it), and I've recently developed an interest in belly dancing.

Another of my favorite things in the whole world is attending the ProgPower USA festival every year. Please visit and add the fan page I manage here on MySpace.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow RUSH geeks, photographers, metalheads, massage therapists, personal trainers, belly dancers, bikers, musicians, comedians, models, writers, nerds, freaks, geeks - any and all cool people. :) I'd also like to meet a nice, laid-back, well-adjusted and emotionally secure kind of man who isn't a needy, whiny pain in the butt.

I've been lucky enough to meet many of my favorite musicians and performers, but someday I'd love to meet Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Roger Daltrey, Ian Gillan, Ian Anderson, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Viggo Mortensen, Uma Thurman, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder and Prince. But most of all, I'd love to meet...

The Holy Trinity.... RUSH!

I also have a mad, passionate crush on Eric Stromer. He's sexy and he can fix things...sigh...
