About Me


"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson

MUSIC, film, books, family, friends, animals, traveling, writing, history, art, lucha libre, boxing, baseball, Chicago Bears, working a job I love, learning about different cultures, food, alcohol, big cities, open country, small towns, sleeping, laughing, tattoos, & starting a family....
