Why is this is so hard?...that's what she said!

About Me

Well what to say? I'm 30 years old and have a passion for the arts community. I have that dream where for 6 months of the year I am in some secluded area where I golf in the morning and then spend the rest of the day writing the great American (or in my case Canadian) novel. I own my own company BCS Consulting and want to get more involved in music, film and any other arts area. To that end I have partnered with the very talented Gavin Booth (www.myspace.com/gavinbooth) to create Mimetic Records a brand new record label (and yes I will listen to your music if you send it to me). Look for new acts and other creative announcements to be posted here.Remember, art is the lifeblood of our society. If you dispute this imagine your life without it, no music, no tv, no books etc. and you'll get my drift.

My Interests

Writing, Music, Film, Sports - NFL Football, Family
