About Me

I feel really retarded when I do these kind of "profile" things. It makes me feel like I'm in second grade! But, if I gotta, I gotta! So, here I go!!! I've been a professional musician for roughly 19 years. I've been playing and writing music for about 25 years. Recently, I started writing screenplays. I began doing them when I was only 15 years old, but quit when my music really started taking over a major part of my life. I don't drink or smoke. It's just a choice. No big deal. If others do, that's totally fine with me. I like EVERYBODY!!!! Musically, I guess you could say I'm a bit eclectic. I LOVE classical music, metal and rock. Some of my faves are Metallica, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Ozzy (of course!), Guns-n-Roses, Zeppelin, Stones, and TONS of 80's metal bands because they had my favorite and most inspirational and inspiring guitarists (with the exception of Jimi Hendrix, who was the MASTER of rock guitar!). My favorite guitarists are Andre Segovia, Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Warren DeMartini, Alan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Akira Takasaki (an AMAZING Japanese guitarist!) and my ultimate guitar shred gods: YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO!!!! They make my fingers bleed just watching 'em! I'm also a major movie nut! I love horror/comedy/sci-fi and action the most. And, if a drama has a good synopsis, I'm game with that too. In my personal life, I'm a VERY easy guy to get along with. I give EVERY BODY a chance in life!!!! There's way too much rivalry in this world. I would much rather have a lot of true friends than bitter enemies! Bottom line, I just like hangin out with my friends, playing shows with my bands, and making more friends...and more friends...and even MORE and MORE friends!!!! If I don't sound too dull, drop me a line. Let's shoot the shit.... ..I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
