On stage, I am a professional! At home, I'm just plain crazy(ask my kids). I love to BBQ, walk/hike, shoot pictures, shoot pool, shoot my gun, and get tattooed! I just basically do the dad thing. Although quiet, I am a very confident person and I know what I want. I am extremely passionate when it comes to music. I am a passive opinionated person. I am also a very silly/goofy, creative, open minded person. Fun is what it's all about. For me happiness is as simple as a Coke and some stimulating conversation. I try to surround myself in a positive atmosphere.
