the time has come for someone to put his foot down... and that foot is me!

About Me


half italian and half slovak. bass player in a bunch of bands . people say i have a good voice so i do some vocals too. sometimes i write songs. i did the soundtrack for a feature film. i was a choirboy for 7 years until my voice changed. i helped make a major book on bass instruction. i've gone cliff diving in st. bart. i've been to iceland a bunch of times. i've worked on movies. i've rescued cats. when i was 10 i was sent to a camp where i had to survive in the woods for 24 hours with an axe i built and 2 matches that went out.
i can probably make you laugh. i'm told i'm a good friend, that i listen and that i'm loyal to the end. they come to me for advice and sometimes they even take it! (gasp!) i don't think i'm all that, but it's nice to pretend.
there need to be about 4 billion fewer people on this planet, asap.
i dig girls. i dig cats.
ask me anything.
doing good does not entitle you to any of the following:
1. wealth
2. encouragement
3. recognition
4. understanding
5. the right to judge another
6. a heavenly afterlife
doing good and living by example, with a true heart, an open mind and a radiant soul provides only two necessary rewards: the private knowledge that you've done so, and the awe-filled, too-finite gift of a mind and body willing to fight on.

My Interests

"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that." -Goethe
girls, playing bass, loyalty, SAVING TIGERS , making my brain work, growth, macintosh, iceland, writing, riding my bicycle, a good night's rest, a good night's sex, doing good, waiting for the meteor to end all this nonsense.
