About Me


I was literally born on the sea - in a boat in the middle of the Gulf Of Mexico, so my life has always been a little strange! I do indeed love the water and flat lands, and I am not much of a mountain person. Love to fish! Love sports and really love music! Any kind of music, as long as it is INTENSE! Rock, metal, trance, house, dance, latin, industrial, or alternative, as long as it rocks, and is original and very deep!
My favorite band of all time is RUSH! Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson are the most accomplished band on the planet! I also love U2, especially the live stuff!I really love spending alot of time with my close friends and my family! I try to be with as many people as possible. I am definately not a 'loner' or a 'solitary soul'!My beautiful wife is my life. She was born in Bogota, Colombia and she is the most wonderful person that I will ever meet in my life, I am sure of it!I have played musical instruments before. Once was a first chair trombone player, and have played the trumpet, saxophone, piano and taught myself to play guitar. I have always fantasized about being a great drummer but lack the coordination necessary to keep a simple beat!

I'd like to meet:

I would have liked to travel back in time and meet my Father when he was a teenager just to see what kind of person he was then. My father died in 1993 and he was almost a stranger to me. So many secrets hidden and so many things kept inside...

Books:

Hemingway does it for me! And I love Neil Peart's books as well! My pastor is Dusty Kemp at New Life Church here in Houston, Texas and he is a great teacher that has taught me much about God's wisdom and great sense of humor!

Heroes:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne
