more cat pictures (Legos rock!!!) I was born in Dover Delaware and lived in Arlington/ Reston/ Herndon, VA for about 21 years or so.....Came to Richmond to attend VCU as a Sculpture/ Painting Major back in 1994.....I was a part of the Electronic Music Culture here back then until the present day.....I have also lived within a marriage here for 6 years, almost 4 years ago and have had 3 Children born here. I am here to Network and make Friends......Bookings, etc.....I only want genuine people in my life. Deeply passionate about Art and Djing.......Enjoy the outdoors, the beach (not the things that want to snack on us though) and our lakehouse..... I am simply here to promote the art of Djing through beautiful Underground House and Techno. The added bonus at times is reconnecting with old friends I thought I'd never see again and new ones. For me, this is a marketing and social tool, not a dating/ hookup service...I never signed on for that, as a matter of fact, it was a gal I met back in 2003 on Friendster that told me about MySpace...Yes folks, she and I are still friends to this day.

My Interests

The Art World and those who do and love all things to do with Art. Hiking in the Mountains, at my Parents Lake house and Beach Home. Being with my kids, my friends, mixing records, and biking.....Going to Electronic Music Events (Quality Events), and other forms of good Music out there to enjoy. Living this one life I have, as happy as possible......
