Work, work out, rock out, sleep, repeat. That's basically my whole life. I love programming and playing keyboards, synths, samplers, my Kaoss pad, and any other gadget or gizmo.
I love experiencing new things. Travelling is a passion of mine and I'm thankful I get to do so much of it with my band. I've been blessed to be able to visit places I never thought I'd see, like NYC, Philly, Houston, Las Vegas, L.A., and San Francisco. Of all the cities I've been to though, none of them can compare to the natural beauty of places like Red Rock National Park in Sedona, Arizona, or the Grand Canyon. One of these days I hope to go back there and sleep on the shore of the Colorado River.
I love astronomy. Ever since I was a kid I've always been fascinated by other planets and the limitless possibilities of the universe. I believe somewhere out there on one of those planets some creature is looking up at the stars wondering if I'm real or not, and I think that's pretty cool.
I love classic pin-up art. Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page are my favorite models of all time, Marilyn for her timeless beauty and Bettie for her risque fearlessness. I honestly believe Marilyn Monroe is the most beautiful woman ever, living or dead.
The better half that makes me whole.
Music is such a powerful force. It can pump you up, mellow you out, get your body moving, get you in the mood, or just about anything else you want it to. It's such an honor and priviledge to make music and be a part of something so powerful. I listen to a lot of metal and classic rock, some alternative, and some weird stuff too.

I have to admit it, I'm a huge Star Wars geek. No, really, a HUGE Star Wars geek. I defy you to try to stump me on Star Wars trivia. I also LOVE zombie movies, anything with Bruce Lee, the Matrix trilogy, and anything with Milla Jovovich (except Ultra Violet, that movie was godawful!)
MMA has become my new favorite obsession. I love to watch UFC, Pride, BodogFight, the IFL, WCL, WEC, or anything else I can find. Fedor Emelianenko is my favorite fighter, but there are so many that I love to watch it makes it hard to have just one. I also like Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddel, Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre, Karo Parysian, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Brock Lesnar, Andrei Arlovsky, Michael Bisping, and Royce Gracie.
Here's Fedor becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of all Existence
I don't really do much reading anymore, but I love the work of Chuck Palahniuk. And you need to read The Ultimate Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. It might save your life someday.
Anyone living their dream
