About Me

- i'm always on the hunt for bands that buck the trend to support, nurture and promote...if you feel you have what it takes drop me a line and i'm more than happy to check you out live or give your music an honest listen...
- i too am a musician...drummer to be exact..experimenting with different beats on my drums and have begun writing lyrics again to go along with the stuff i've written over the years. It's true love....
- Whole grain pancakes and cereal make perfect dinner substitutes in my house...
- I'm a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich addict....natural peanut butter and natural all fruit spreads of course
- I'm a real believer in good karma and truly feel that you are a result of how you perceive and interact with the environment around you....
- Take care of the earth and the people you love around you and its returned to you in tidal waves, not miniscule amounts....
- Running, swimming, cycling, hiking, yoga, salsa (and i ain't talking about the condiment)....yeah.
- Winter time = snow board/ski time
- Summer time = out door time...like taking a nice drive in the convertible...results in messy convertible hair but that's the price you pay for enjoying the outdoors ;
- Can't forget about the mind....it too needs nurturing and R&R....try falling asleep to Sade playing on your iPod...you'll feel refreshed in the morning
