About Me

I live for music. I love old Delta Blues, 80's hair metal and just about all sorts of music. I am a huge Randy Rhoads fan - in both music and life. I try to live my life like he lived his, as short as it was. I've worked in mortgage/banking for most of my life. I grew up in Chicago and I still miss the midwest sometimes. Although I don't think I could ever live that far from L.A. again. I love hanging out in L.A., Scottsdale and back in Chicago when I get the chance. I've played in various bands throughout the years, but now I just basically write and record in my home studio. I also like to hang out at the Tom Cat bar in Mira Misa. I guess if you would like to know more, just ask.

My Interests

Music, music and music. I enjoy writing, recording and producing music.

I'd like to meet:

Paul McCartney, Honeyboy Edwards, Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Page for living people. If I could meet anyone that has since passed on it would be Randy Rhoads, Robert Lockwood Jr., John Lennon or Dean Martin. Of course more than anything I would like to get to see my mom once again. As far as meeting new friends, I just want to meet honest, non-opinionated, laid back, easy going, fun loving people who don't hate people for no reason and constantly complain about every little thing.Music Video: CRAZY TRAIN (by Ozzy Osbourne)
