About Me

I work for RiPPYFiSH Records as a Multimedia Madman (graphics, web, photo, video, stunt choreography, etc). We have an online music site called RiPPYFeST . Come check it out. It's a place for fans of local indie music. Here is a sampling of the awesome music that is on our site, by a band called Mesa Drive:

If you like what you hear, purchase the full album at mesadrive.com or download it on iTunes:

My Interests

photography, videography, web, computers, film, art, music and all that jazz

I'd like to meet:

Mostly Dugway and Southern Utah University folk.

Music:

I work at a record label. So I am required, by law, to like all music ... just in case we want to sign the band.

Movies:

see Heroes.

Books:

I dig the Orson Scott Card "Maps In a Mirror" .. and the entire Ender series. I don't have time for novels. I'm too busy creating my own stories.

Heroes:

Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman, Tim Burton, Chuck Palahniuk, and ... uhh.. Alex Cassun. He's my hero.

Was Tommy Chong hitting on me?

If you were in the Salt Lake area last night and didn't see Tommy Chong ... shame on you. Okay, maybe not "shame on you." How about ... "you missed out on a good time." He and his wife, Shelby, gave g...

Devolution of Society.

So we're watching one of our shows on the tele and I catch something out of the corner of my eye.  It's the advertisement for the show you are currently watching.  Why they do this, I don't ...

Pity Party (potentially offensive)

I support our troops, but this bulletin kinda offended me.  It makes a comparison about our troops' lives (male only, for some reason) and the lives of the average U.S. citizen.  I will incl...
