About Me


I'm a proud member of Help Me Mommy! - A Rocky Horror Shadowcast . Showing every single Saturday night at Midnight @ The Art Theater in Hobart, In. Just 50 minutes outside of Downtown Chicago.
Despite trials and tribulations, I live a blessed life.
Years ago I was a dreamer named Edward. Then I became the nightmare I feared. Now? I've been called an Eclectic soul, and I think that's fitting. I've been around the best, and became the worst. And in the long run... became a better man because of it. A series of dramatic changes in my life, left little of the boy I used to be.

My name is Z. Daniel Phoenix. Most folks call me Z or Zero.
When it comes to stages in my life... Johnny Cash said it best when he sang "I've been everywhere, man". I have been both blessed and cursed with the potent knowledge of what ambition, desire, and inspiration can drive a person too.
I am, and will always be unapologetic for doing what I think is just.
Because of this it's not always easy to be my friend. Some people call it stubborn, I call it strength of character. I owe a great portion of that strength to my friends and family.
Regardless of the experiences I've had... I'm filled with thanks for the sometimes hard lessons I've learned about Life, Love and Everything in between.
I have a beautiful woman in my life, who is enchanting to wake up beside. She helps me walk the line, preventing me from being yet another angsty, sarcastic slacker.
Through the good, the bad, the silence, and the fire... I live a truly blessed life.
