About Me

A musician who is so blessed with a real and positive gig in California and whom is now looking to take the time to enjoy it and share it with the right folks. I'm a pianist/keyboard player... I'm a member of the band Spearhead.I'm also someone's Daddy and that it incredible!!! My son's name is Emmanuel. I'm also discovering more about my Native American heritage. It is such deep and powerful insight, especially when it comes to understanding the planet. We all need to learn how to love the planet more.... everyone of us!!! I spend time out in Northern California with some wonderful and knowledgeable folks on living and loving off the land. They are a straight up blessing in my life.I'm basicly very loyal to my friends. I have great patience and strive to have understanding with people. We don't have to agree, just respect that there are other points of view. I love to cook and feed folks. I'm not into overproduction meaning I only like drama in my music and movies. I'm neat and mostly organized. Working out is ok but i'd rather have a farm and keep in shape by working it. I do love to kick the soccer ball. When I get a chance to, I have dreams about it that same night.... Crazy shit.I enjoy adventures and love to just leap out of the normal situations of life into something new and completely off the radar screen now and then. I eat good healthy food usually because I cook it myself. I'm handy as a mutha fucka which is a trait in my family. I try to keep a healthy perspective on capitalism. I'm not tryin to get hypnotized into buying a bunch of bullshit. I only deserve what I absolutely need in terms of material crap.Freedom to BE is the main thing I cherish....
