Friends are the family, we choose.

About Me

I love my job, it is my passion. I truly believe in "Work Hard, Play HARDER!!!" Music is a huge part of my life. It infiltrates everything I do. I can't explain why, AND I'm not a musician. Richie Hawtin said, "I think there is a part of our body that responds to bass. You get a warm, cozy feeling from the lower frequencies. It surrounds you and encompasses you more than the high-end frequencies." That's the best I've ever heard it explained. I love hanging out with friends. Going to dinner, drinks, clubs, shows, whatever. I'm very big on the "more the merrier "policy. I loooooooooove sports!!! Football (Packers), baseball (Yankees), basketball (LA), hockey (Kings), boxing. I'm a big trash talker, and love to joke around. I can dish with the best (as well as take it). Laughing is my favorite past time (sometimes at you, sometimes with you... it's up to you to decide.) I like Martini's, Skittles, and pickles, but not necessarily at the same time. I enjoy meeting new people, and am continually amazed at human behavior. Did I mention, I really like Sleep, Music, Sports and Booze???!!!!!
