About Me


Sometimes I am the Beastmaster, other times Ace Ventura. Always dreaming, writing, playing guitar and spending heaps of time thinking and creating. Keeping "the big picture" in focus is crucial.

Hate the game: Too Sane

Rock out past-presently: Amperes

My Interests

Listening to and playing rock music
Taking pictures
Collecting comic books (I read them gently before sealing them in mylar bags and storing them in long cardboard boxes forever)
Writing about stuff
Getting all extreme on the elliptical at the gym
Making odd, loud sounds with my mouth

I'd like to meet:


I'd like to meet intelligent individual(s) who possess limitless thought patterns, a natural sensibility for mischief, and a low tolerance for phoniness; people who aren't afraid to rock out.
