About Me

Hi, I'm Kevin -just Kev is fine. I grew up in San Diego, California.. After moving to Nevada somewhere around '95 I graduated from Carson High in 2000 and have been hopping around ever since. I took a few years off computers and ski bummed at Kirkwood for a few years but as of Nov 2004 I have lived in Cairns, Queensland, Australia, initially working as a radiator fabricator, then a website developer and its been like the jeffersons since..
I like to attempt to talk my friends from backhome into coming to Aus, Play any instrument but mostly guitar and drums, read nerdy computer books and news, listen to lots of music, birdwatching (seriously) , Playing baseball, Checking out the beautiful scenery in Cairns.. Sit in pubs, check shit out..etc..
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
-Vince Lombardi
