About Me

I was born in Ontario, Oregon and lived there with my family for three years until i was old enough to walk and talk and function and then I was "accidentally" left at Disneyland during a family vacation. I wandered the streets of LA with a young Tupac Shakur and company, droppin' beats with DRE and slingin' rhymes with Snoop until I was six. I showed them how to produce platinum records and then I became bored with that scene and flew to South Africa to help Ernie Els with his swing and mental approach to the game. At the time Ernie was a struggling amatuer, but two short years later, in 1989, joined the PGA tour and now is one of the top golfers in the world. You're welcome Ernie.
I never went to any formal schooling. I educated myself by traveling around the world and talking with world-renowned philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, and writers, bickering with them, challenging their beliefs, and pressuring them to become better and smarter in their respective fields.
After a brief world-tour with U2 at the peak of their reign being a modern rock dynasty as a backup drummer for Larry Mullen, Jr who has been plagued with tendonitus his entire career, I decided I would go back to Oregon and re-enroll myself into a "normal" lifesyle. At 20 years old, tired of the glamour, I signed up for classes at Oregon State University and acquired a degree in Speech Communication and Business. I spent most of my time at OSU helping my professors put together more effective teaching styles and programs. Students simply aren't getting the education they deserve for the money they or their parents are paying.
I'm also an architect. I sell cell phones just for the sheer thrill of it. Humble was the pie that they gave me, but excellence still exudes from my every cell in all that I do. I am who I am. I'm learning to accept that. Maybe you can too.
