About Me

I am many things to many people... A husband, a brother, a son, and a friend. I am easily amused by the smallest things. You can catch me in a bookstore for hours admiring history novels about the greatest generation, or simply playing a game of boggle and arguing over if there is such a word as "flark ". I'm addicted to my iPOD and video games. (Hey... at least I'm not a drug addict!)

I am also a guitarist for Chicago's Slipstream and on occasion, you can catch me in Scattered Maize in its tribal goodness. So yeah... music is a major part of my life.
My favorite hobby is eating Thai Food with my wife, going to early Sunday morning matinees and movie hopping! (I'm such a rebel I know...) and yes... I love a good cheap and shallow horror film!

Overall I am a simple guy that is very happy and thankful for what I have accomplished on this earth and the friends and family God has given me.

I am still a work in progress.....
