Books:

Just read the Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo!!! Great book kinda like a fable about life..A bunch of others... but The Mind-Body Prescription By Dr. John Sarno(changed my life.)........ I mostly read magazines......Guitar World, Men's Health, Rolling Stone, Philadelphia...not much time for long books. Just short articles on a rare break.

Heroes:

My Dad....He is by far my biggest hero................... He always encouraged me to be who I am... He was almost a professional baseball pitcher but couldn't persue his dream because he had to drop out of school to help send his brother and sister to college. He always wanted me and my brother to be into sports but I really wasn't into it....and once I discovered the guitar there was no turning back. He always taught me to follow my dreams and never stood in the way of my music. He was my biggest fan as I am his. God rest his soul: ..o April 9 2006. He is truly my idol and will always be a role model for everything I do.My Mother too...Who was always there for me in every way possible. She just passed in Dec. 2007. She was definitely a rock for me though my whole life. I miss her dearly.
