About Me

Not too much to know. I do not like giving out personal info online so here is all youre gettin from me...Im in my 30s, I reside in Southern Md (For the time being) I am not interested in anything that you are trying to sell me, so dont waste your time.If things had gone my way in life I would be living in a 1 bedroom home with the garage turned into my home office/recording studio. Life has just about screwed me in every way possible so here I sit.
Here is a little bit of why I am the co founder The ARDS Ride Foundation.
My father passed away after a successful quadruple bypass in 2003 due to complications with ARDS, which is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. More than 150,000 people each year die due to complications with ARDS.My brother Bobby started The ARDS Ride Foundation to help fund the research being done at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore Maryland. My sister Kerri and I are the Co-Founders, it is a collective effort trying to build this foundation but we are doing everything possible to get the word out. We are planning several events to help fund this research. We have a website located at www.ardsride.com so feel free to visit the site and if you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us through the site or send me a message directly here. Thank You. Below you will see pictures of my father and of past ARDS Ride events.Thank you Below are pictures of the research lab at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. There are also pictures of my younger brother Bobby with Darrel Green of The Washington Redskins, Bobby with Dan Snyder, the owner of the Skins, and Chris Tucker. Enjoy the pics and dont forget to visit www.ardsride.com

My Interests

I am interested in many things. To start with, my wonderful woman Donna! Next is money and music. You can take away my tv, dvd player but like LL Cool J said way back, "I cant live without my radio". I am also interested in helping fund the research of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome because it took someone away from me that will be forever missed, my father.

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in meeting musicians, bands, venue owners/mgrs., and people interested in helping us fund the research of a syndrome that takes more than 150,000 lives each year. A.R.D.S. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.ARDS is being researched at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore Maryland and with the continued efforts of many, Dr.Roy Brower and the research staff at Johns Hopkins will one day find the solution to the problem.I have started The ARDS Ride Foundation Group in MySpace, check it out and join if interested.

Music:

Not in any order, but Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, The Doors, Lynard Skynard, Cypress Hill, 50Cent, Shania Twain, Foghat, Metallica, Danzig, Tool, Louis Armstrong,Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Victor Wooten and all of the local bands that I promote, John Luskey, Broken Stigma, Madd Mother Moose, The Insurrection, The Discordian Society and many more ...........is this diversified enough for you? The Post Ride Concert for ARDS Ride 2008 will be featuring none other than img src="http://www.lloyddoblereffect.com/banners/banner1.jpg" The ARDS Ride Foundation is very fortunate to be able to add an "HFStival" veteran onboard. Thank You LDE!

Movies:

I like comedy, action, suspense and any other movie. I am not too much into horror flicks, I grew out of that.

Television:

I watch TV....what do you want to hear? I watch the news, how depressing is that?

Books:

I have read many books in my day, most of which I do not remember.

Heroes:

My heros are the military men and women serving this country and the fire/ems men and women risking thier lives everyday. I have been in several accidents and if it werent for the speedy response of the rescue squads I wouldnt be typing this message. Thank you all. But the top hero in my list would have to be my father, I was born when he was 18, and I dont think he ever missed a day of work except for in 1989 when he was in a motorcycle accident. After the accident he lost his right leg below the knee and became a registered technician in orthotics & prosthetics. (Artificial Limbs & Braces) We lost my father in 2003 and started a charity organization in his honor. Know as The ARDS Ride Foundation we help fund the research of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. ..
