About Me

Husband to Kristi. Father to Christopher, Cora, and Myra. Beyond that, I'm just me. If you want to know something specific, feel free to ask.

My Interests

Music and Movies of course. I play guitar, Chess, Video games and Poker in what little spare time I have. My kids and my wife. I'm the guitar player for Cynical Outrage. I also recently started playing with my first band Afterlife because I still love the music of Afterlife and if you want to learn more about them you can go here.afterlife's myspace profile

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone. Everyone is interesting in their own way if you take enough time to get to know them. Anyone that wants to meet and get to know me.Background Image credit to Georgi Ostashov!!!

Music:

Anything good man. There is so much that is great about music why limit it to a few bands or genres. If it's good I like it and i have a WIDE range of tastes. I'm also moody. Some days I'll want to listen to classical music (yes you heard right...Beethoven ROCKS!) and some days I just can't get enough Death Metal.My Heaviest influences would have to consist of the following in no particlar order: Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Ozzy/Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Judas Priest, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, AC DC, Danzig, Misfits, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Brian May (Queen), Rage Against the Machine, RHCP, SOAD, White/ Rob Zombie.

Movies:

Lots! I rarely see one that I don't like at all.

Television:

Used to watch a ton, but now I mostly only watch sports.

Books:

I really love the "Ender" series by Orson Scott Card. I haven't read them all, but the first 3 are phenomenal.

Heroes:

Kristi is my hero. Beyond that, she is what makes my life worth living.

It’s A New YEAR!

Halloween Bash 2007

I think everyone that came out got trashed early on, but had a good time.  Consequently not a lot of  people stayed to hear us play (about 20 or so).  But for those that did, I want to ...
