Irritating you on a daily basis....

About Me

..
Does anyone really read these things? C'mon, you know you only look at the pictures. Ooops....maybe I said too much. Anyway, I'm a longtime musician of Atlanta local bands, most recently Asphalt Valentine (formerly Backseat Superstars), and currently SMASH MACHINE . I'm not your "typical" musician, you're more likely to find me in the gym than at a bar, and downing a protein shake than an alcoholic beverage. Although, I do enjoy live music, and music of most types in general. I'm originally from upstate New York, and moved to Atlanta to get away from the COLD. I've never been married, work in electronics, own a home, and other hobbies include reading, woodworking, jetskiing, and most anything outdoors. If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask!
Please read before requestin an ADD
I've been getting a lot of 'random' friends requests, especially from the under 20 crowd. If you're under 21, I will NOT add you without an email first. I'm not here to collect friends, so please refrain from requesting an add just to see your 'friends' number increase. By all means, if you think we have common interests, or would like to know more about me, feel free to add me. If you think I may have to scratch my head to see exactly WHY you added me, just drop me an email. Thanx!
. .

My Interests

Working out, being healthy, and staying in shape. Hard rockin music, of course (as well as other music). Jet skiing, woodworking, target shooting (love my GLOCK), politics, work in electronics, computers/network support. what else could I have TIME for?

I'd like to meet:
