It ain't easy, being cheesey.
..Rush Anthem
..I am your true, American, continental mutt. Yes, all men are dogs, but I live like a stray.. I grew up in Connecticut, lived in South Florida for 12 years, California, Arizona (yuck), Massachusettes, North Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, South Carolina, etc... I am not an Army brat as so many have suggested, although, I thought about going into the military out of High School. Looking at the world today, I am not only lucky I did not, but also probably lucky to still be alive. (I do have a tremendous appreciation and gratitude towards our troops. We owe them our lives, and if it was not for them, we would be speaking Spanish! Oh wait, nevermind...) Why so many moves? College, like 8 times I think? 3 fiances, and well.. Moving on... I am a drummer of 25 years, with RUSH as a specialty, and a love. I actually met Geddy and Alex in Phoenix at one of their shows. An opportunity I will never forget. I attended the California Institute of the Arts for drums and percussion, and visited the Berkeley College of Music in Boston to rub shoulders with Giants. Work wise, an opportunity arose last summer that allowed me to still be in the hospitality field, without having to lose my mind while doing it. I am now a computer programmer and installer for HSI. This allows me to travel the world for free and play with computers basically. I install the Point of Sale systems for hotels, resorts and restaurants. Neat gig huh? There is no greater reward in life than to be able to give back to society gifts you have been given by God..
