About Me

I'm 40-years-old (although people usually trip out when they find out. They think I'm much younger), I have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter who is my life (other than music), and I'm soon to be divorced.I'm serious about my music. I've been playing bass in metal bands for the past 20 years. I've been in Dead Men Walking (Beaumont) for a while now. We've been through a lot personally and as a band in the last couple of years. And, after a LONG hiatus, we've worked things out and are back on the scene.Here's a link to my band's page:Dead Men Walking

Winds of Change

2006 was a damn crazy year for me. Hayley and I ran the roads like never before. We went to airshows and the beach; camped at the river and played in the creek. We went to the zoo. We both ...

Damn This Old Body

Things are progressing. We rehearsed again Saturday night, and we're starting to sound pretty damn tight if I do say so myself. I did some things during practice that I've never been able to do before...

Forget the formalities. Let's jam!

Well, we've had two practices now, and I have to say things are already coming together. It feels like old times (if not sounding exactly like them). Some parts are forgotten. Some hands or finge...

Man In the Wilderness

Normally, I'm not one to do this. Post lyrics. But, I just listened to this song for the first time in a LONG time, and it pretty much summed up how I've felt my whole life. Man In The Wilderness ...
