About Me

So Carla yelled at me to update my "About Me" section. She can hit pretty hard, so I have decided to listen to her anytime I'm not 20 yards away (which is too far for her to reach).I have a good job with a healthcare management firm where I do the accounting for 7-9 nursing homes in Arkansas. I dig it. Sometimes I regret not following my passion for special education, but I have some flexibility in my current position.Playing mandolin is my other passion. I hate driving, but I find myself driving hours every weekend in the summer to play. I still play in Driving Force occasionally, but we don't have many gigs any more. I'm also still trying to finish getting my MBA degree, so that significantly limits practice time some months.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Peter Singer

Music:

Bluegrass mainly. I do like jazz (mostly hardbop, but I do listen to some bebop and cool), and I'm trying to develop an appreciation for classical. I really want to learn how to play those styles of music . And like almost every person in their 20's I of course like: Blink, Rage, Goldfinger, Barenaked Ladies, etc. And like most mandolin players my age, Chris Thile is by far my favorite musical influence. Hence the addition of him in my heroes section.

Television:

The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and the cool shows on adult swim. Sealab and Spaceghost brought me in; Aquateen made me keep watching.

Heroes:
