Lets be from Vermont, and let's have an emerging maple syrup conglomerate!

About Me

I grew up in Pewaukee Wisconsin, but have been living in Milwaukee for 5 years now. I graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2004 and have been doing promotional work and tending bar at Kenadee's downtown. Baseball used to be my life, but now I'm into music, writing and performing. The name of my band is Phalaphel (Like the food) check us out at www.myspace.com/phalaphelmusic.Other than music I love movies and comedy too. I could watch re runs of Comedy Central Presents all day. I love traveling (my favorite city is London) and I'm into water sports such as wake boarding, wake skating, and inland surfing. Lately I've been trying to do more writing and I'm always looking for a new venue for a gig. My band does a monthly spot at Live on North Avenue so I'm looking for mores spots like that to play more shows.

My Interests

music (writing and performing) concerts, camping, traveling. (If I can do all three at once, I'm happy) water sports, football, baseball, movies, going to the gym, going out with friends, brewery tours, real estate investments, EATING, going out to new resturants or bars, taking up an entire blackjack table with my friends in Vegas, or simply getting together with everyone for a good game of risk. Screw off, it's a fun game!

I'd like to meet:

People from various bands and times. Currently, I would love to meet bands like Phish and hit the road with them to see what it would be like. (Even though they're not really together anymore) But I'd also like to go back in time and meet musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. See what made them tic, and why they destroyed themselves. I hate to admit it, but I'd love to meet Tom Cruise. Hey, maybe he's not as bizarre as we all think. He IS an actor, you know.

Music:

ATMOSPHERE, Phish, Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Led Zepplin, Dispatch, Black Sheep, Pharcyde, Cake, Cold Play, Dave, Biggie, MF Doom and Danger Mouse, Oasis, Ugly Duckling, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Common, Kanye West, Alman Brothers, and of course, Phalaphel, Luvington A-Rod, and The George Dickel 8

Movies:

Kevin Smith movies, Star Wars movies, action films with Arnold, Bruce, or Tom. The Big Labowski, The Usual Suspects, Scent of a Woman, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrels, Sin City, Enter the Dragon, Will Farrel and Jim Carrey flicks, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, this can get more and more random....

Television:

The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and 24. I love watching football and movies, and I completely cut reality TV from my life. If TV rots your brain, then reality TV simply removes your brain all together.

Books:

Cats Cradle, MacBeth, 1984, Monster, Angels and Demons, The Devinci Code, Prey, The Left Behind series (I'm on the 4th book)

Heroes:

My Mother and Father, my grandpa Findlay and my big sister Erin, may she rest in peace
