Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live

About Me

I live in the present not the tomorrow not the yesterday. Worrying about anything other than that which is happening right now is as useful to me as chewing bubble gum to calculus students. I travel the country all year round, with musicians, technicians and the like. They are some of my best friends. I get paid to make art that most people do not notice unless it is absolutely horrid. I love every last minute of it. I love difficult situations because they teach me everything about myself that I did not know. I love phrases like completely incomplete and altogether separate. I love my family and my church because they teach me about grace and unconditional love constantly.

My Interests

Music, I play the piano and a little guitar. I've dabbled in percussion and a couple horn instruments.

I'd like to meet:

My good friend Josh says he wants to meet people who are: loving, broken, lost, inspired, influential, honest, teachable, hopeful, diverse, informed, misled, deceived, confident, nervous, calm, blessed, confused, creative, depressed, pensive, impatient, lonely, melancholy, productive, rebellious, sad, content, thoughtful, cynical, enlightened, inquisitive, happy, intimidated, humble, joyful, loyal.... and he couldn't be more right!

Music:

Old stuff, and New stuff. Everything from Sinatra to the Crystal Method. The music of the people I work and have worked for because reminds me of all the great times I've had out and about.

Movies:

I love epics. Gladiator, the Last Samurai, stuff like that. I watch concert DVD's and films quite a bit. I really dig the classics. If its on the AFI's 100 best movies list, I probably own it.

Television:

Mindless media that sucks all my productive time away. That being said. I love 24 and a good comedy.

Books:

Blue Like Jazz and Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller will always be favorites. A novel in letters by Gregory Colbert is a new favorite - "If you come to me at this moment... Your minutes will become hours... Your hours will become days... And your days will become a lifetime..."

Heroes:

My Father... My never ending example of everything a grown man should me. If I come to be, half the man he is when I reach his age, I will be fulfilled.
