About Me

..I've been making music most of my life...... Born in California, raised part in a minor industrial town in Ohio and spent part of my childhood on my grandparent's farm. I'm definitely the same boy I used to be. I make the best chicken soup you've probably ever eaten. I like to hang out in my kayak and spend alone time in the woods often or with a friend. I enjoy eating things grown from seed from my garden. I enjoy hunting and fish for food. I believe in peace on earth and good will towards men. When I was 17 I got in a staring contest with a mountain lion in the mountains of New Mexico and lived. I try to do my best. I try to bring more peace and love than I take.

My Interests

making music especially on bass instruments. my band LOCAL COLOR,kayaking ,canoeing, my new (OLD) fishing boat, fishing, bows, crossbows, firearms, paintball guns, flint knapping, rock climbing, saltwater reef aquariums, my cat, gardening, hunting, cooking from scratch, fixing stuff, electronics, disc golf, hiking, computers & evidentally wasting countless hours interacting with people on myspace My score on The Could You Be A Sound Engineer Test :

Sound Engineer
(You scored 99 aptitude and 89 hearing! 38 wank.)

You've got the nouse, you have the passion, and you've even managed to look after your hearing pretty well. You're the man, quite simply. You know your way around a console, around a venue, and around the scene. Awesome.

I'd like to meet:

Good people who are willing to give of themselves to make the lives of others better.People who like to do stuff.People who believe in fair trade and who live close to the earth People who serve God with their hands rather than their mouthsA good woman who doesn't lie to me, use me for money, or play games with my heart.
