If it's NOT Wallace, IT'S CRAP!!

About Me

I've been involved with bars and restaurants the majority of my working career as a waiter, bartender, or management and have been selling wine for the last few years in my continued pursuit of knowledge. I've studied beer, wine and spirits for well over 20 years now and am preparing to receive my Sommelier Certificate. I am also the resident mixologist for IPM events (or at least aspire to be). People quickly learn to trust my gastronomical skills.Music is easily my biggest vice. I've been collecting tunes for almost 25 years and had to convert an entire room in my condo to house my library of 4000+ CDs and 500+ LPs...and the hits just keep on coming! I'm thrilled to be involved with IPM Radio as a regular DJ and look forward to the future of IPM and my role there.

My Interests

In addition to my ravenous pursuit of music and food/drink, I am also a freelance artist. I specialize in illustration and lettering and have done anything from logo design to large scale murals for clients.

I'd like to meet:

Always interested in meeting new people and being turned on to all types of new music. Check out some of my visitors by clicking below.

Music:

Take a look at my friends list! I'm searching thru MySpace for what I believe to be some of the hottest music both old and new. This way, you have a direct link to view the artists themselves and listen to some of their music. Check back often! I'll try to be consistent in rotating my "Top Peeps" for your viewing and listening pleasure :)
