You can't escape the danger!

About Me

I'm a graduate of the University of Miami's Music Engineering program. I compose and produce music, record and design sound effects, code, and write song lyrics, poems and fiction.
I work for Sun 103.1 FM in Tavernier. Monday to Friday, I do accounts receivable and traffic for four stations. I host and program a progressive rock/metal radio show called the Eleventh Hour that airs Sundays at 11:00 PM.
In my spare time, I'm doing the sound and music for an independent game called Facewound , as well as some freelance voice acting and audio engineering.

I'm a co-conspirator for a social networking website called Pagebound that has to do with reading, rating, reviewing, and trading books as well as finding common intrests and authors between groups of friends.

I dig metal, progressive rock, zombie movies, and horrific fiction just to name a few.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Musicians and music lovers, aficionados of horror and dark fiction, strong and centered women.

Unless I've met you personally or have seen your band, chances are I won't accept your friendship request out of the blue. If you want to add me, shoot me a line and introduce yourself. I am not a trophy collector

An odd dream
