Love my wife, kitty, family, and friends. Sliding through life enjoying coffee, cigarettes, cheese, whiskey, and montreal bagels. I sometimes do project stuff, make music in my room and wrangle people for ideas. I'm the guy sitting alone on a park bench feeding the birds, reading a book, and talking to strangers when they sit down.

Influences: Too vast to mention. On any given day, revolving on my musical playlist, it could shift from early 1980s hip hop to 1950s twangy country to 1970s jesus rock to 18th-century classical to 1940s swing to 1970s funk and punk to 1960s easy listening to current day releases. There is good music in every genre, it's just unearthing it.
