About Me


First off let me preface this by saying Its hard to be a Flashy Strutting Peacock when you feel like a caterpillar. No, that is not an ugly duckling reference, and those of you who know me might flat out know where Im coming from when I say that.
Who am I? What am I? I'm still trying to work that out. Ive been told I have more direction, more dreams, more raw ambition then most guys around my age. I have big dreams and thus I have tremendous disappointments. Only thing really missing in making most of my dreams reality is funding and the time to put that funding to good use.
I am a Photographer, and have been told that I am immensely talented as such. Starting to get somewhere currently with this skill. I'm attempting to open my own Photography Studio with Gallery attached to do both self-expression and commissioned work. Love working with Bands, Models and anyone who really wants Great photos of themselves.
I am a Musician, Producer, and Record Company Mogal. Ok I'm not exactly a Mogal at the moment, working on getting MIDWEST COWBOY MOJO off the ground. Have everything ready to go, just going to be a little while before releases start to flow. Getting my own band together and prepairing to unleash my Rock N Roll upon Columbus. I sing and play guitar, bass, tuba and keyboards mostly. I'm a major Gibson and Rickenbacker guy, even though I do have a few fender Telecasters and a Jazz bass in my growing collection.
I am an aspiring Film maker. I'm currently working on a few movie scripts with some friends of mine. Hoping to get the funding for the project a feature film, It's a comedy about making an independant film. Large cast should be really funny. Before that we make the feature we're looking at making 1 or 2 shorts. Need funding to make good movies, thus is frustration.
