About Me

Until recently, I was the spazzy front man for the quirkiest, bloodiest art-rock band in town, HOLSTER .

Now I am focused on a new career, going back to school for paralegal training.

I am also totally fascinated by this person:

My Interests

A hot, super-fun nurse with amazing music taste, gorgeous brown eyes, attention-getting hair, and a great sense of humor. Music. Good food. History. Mysteries. Odd characters among us. Humor. Romance. Adventure. The road less traveled.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who wants to buy my condo.
