About Me

My Interests

Making music has always been my life. Always has, always will. When I'm not on a stage or in the studio, I like to hang with family and friends. The people around me are very important. I hate drama and greed. They cause nothing but bad outcomes and I've seen to many people fall victim. Another thing I enjoy is being 60 feet underwater. Diving has got to be the closest thing to being in outerspace. I don't get to go as much as I'd like so if anyone is up for a dive, I'm your guy. I also enjoy fishing. Fresh or salt. I was raised going to the Tennessee river to fish for largemouth bass with my dad and last year I caught my first Blue Marlin. Now that's a workout! I also like to fish for tuna and sierra. They taste yummy on the grill or you can pan sear the tuna and it melts in your mouth. That leads me to my next hobby. I love to cook. I'll make the main course and my wife, Abby, will make the best salad and desserts you will ever put in your mouth. I make soups, stews, roast chickens, make pastas, and make virtually anything on the grill. I try to avoid using anything canned as much as possible. Fresh is the best! Come over and I'll fatten you up!

I'd like to meet:

My baby in the bed.

Movies:

I love watching movies. I'm a big horror buff. I like horror movies that make you say "Hmm... could that really happen?". Religious horror like The Exorcist 1 and 3 and The Omen are ones to make you freak out a little bit. The Godfather 1 and 2 are not movies. They are films. By far one of the greatest stories ever written. I also love watching dumb humor like Supertroopers. That one will follow me everywhere I go. Other greats are Rosemary's Baby, Seven, The Shining, Saw 1 and 2, Jaws, Indiana Jones trilogy, Slingblade, Harry Potter, Forrest Gump, Jekyll and Hyde together again, the list goes on and I don't have the patience...

Television:

I try not to watch too much television but sometimes I just can't help it. The Simpsons, Weeds, Law and Order SVU, Deadwood, Dexter

Books:

Wonderland Ave., The Lovely Bones, Please Kill Me, Still Life with Woodpeckers

Heroes:

My wife. Smooch.
