About Me

Hello hello, what can i say. Well, i love recording music. I have been doing it for close to 10 years now. Check out the studio at Logic Sysytem Labs to catch some tunes. Right now i'm embarking on a Live music quest trying to capture all my favorite local bands playing in venues across michigan. So if you see me out with my field recorder, say hi. you just might end up on a cd sometime soon.
Art wise, i have taken to the spray can, and found objects as my medium of taste. I LOVE THE SCRAPYARD. this is a rehabillitating way of recycling. i enjoy it.
all this however hasn't stopped me from being a teacher to my 2 beautiful daughters, who spend about as much time in the garage painting with me, and playing keys in the studio as i do.
if you've made it this far, check out some pictures, they'll stimulate the other side of you're brain.
P.S. bring down the man, and lets stop the coporate state from turning us into a faceless marketing demographic. i'm not going to preach, but i love catching you guys and gals out there changing the world. even if it's just for yourselves. start small, end big. snowball effect.

My Interests

investing in myself, my friends and my family.

I'd like to meet:

people changing our society creatively, and sucessfully.
-----musically, artistly, culturally, positively-----

Music:

open to anything really. its all in the mood. right now however, it's been more of a pump your fist, kick your boots sort of time.

Movies:

intelligent, artistic, dark.
Basquiat and Things to do in Denver when You're Dead, are my favorites hands down, yet, some recent favorites include: Stardust, a Lifeless Ordinary, Labryinth, and the Dark Crystal

Television:

i've returned to fighting it. unplug and tune in....
yet back in the day..... tales from the crypt, headbangers ball, the untouchables, and alternative nation. held it all.

Books:

I've been reading alot of kids books. Books on art,design, architecture, catholic/itallian art and fashion. Ask Alice. Adbusters. anything on eastern / middle eastern politics. Poetry by Bukowski and independent Grand Rapids writers.
