About Me


I'm a 20 year veteran of the music industry. I spent almost an equal amount of time at two companies, first working at Tower Records then with Sony Music (later known as Sony BMG Music). I'm currently working with my brother-in-law on some projects as well as resurrecting Chippero Brothers Productions...

Sorry girls, I'm married to a beautiful woman, Julielyn. Without her, I'd be quite lost...
Once a week, I hit the drums and trigger the lasers for Spacement, a loose tribute to Pink Floyd.
Just go to www.spacement.com or www.chippero.com and you'll find a bit more about me, my beautiful wife and my crazy cast of friends.

My Interests

Julielyn, music, lasers, drums, lasers, any mind expanding tools including lasers... especially green lasers... and maybe even one day I'll be able to buy a blue laser!

I'd like to meet:

Cute chicks that can afford to take my wife & I to sushi dinners on a regular basis, otherwises unusual people that I don't have time to spend with...

Music:

Genesis (both the Gabriel & Collins eras), Tool (I saw Tool open for the Rollins Band in 92, I didn't recently jump on the train), Pink Floyd, the Dead, King Crimson, Living Colour, Yes, Jethro Tull, Bowie, Rush, Ben Harper, Ambient Temple of Imagination and many other bands that have some deep and heavy music. In case you haven't noticed I'm a big f'ing geek.

Movies:

American Beauty, Lord of the Rings, A Christmas Carol, Slingblade, Dead Man, Genesis in Concert 1976, Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, Roger Waters Waters in the Flesh

Television:

Twilight Zone, Rome, The Sopranos, Real Time w/Bill Maher, Hardball w/Chris Mathews, Law & Order (with JL), Secret Life of ...

Books:

Lord of the Rings, Great Expectations and almost any book by Steinbeck. Alex Grey's artbooks. What happened to the Art section? ... Oh yeah, I can't forget about Playboy. They really do have great articles because, like HBO, they aren't worried about offending their advertisers.

Heroes:

My parents, Captian Cock, Mr. Magoo, Dr. Shulgin & Phloyd the Pig - Go ahead and pet him. He won't bite!

Music Survey

Finally a useful and informative survey (of course I wrote it myself). Most of my friends, including my wife, I have met through some involvement with music. It would be a great way to find out more...
