About Me

I'm a 38 year old contractor who is restless in life like everyone else, I haven't found my place yet or anything that I truly love to do from which I can earn a living.

My true love is (besides my wife of course! *eh hem*) drumming and percussion, and everything related to it. My other love is golf, so much so that I even build clubs, but with other things in my life this has taken a back seat I'm afraid for the last 6 years.

I try to be as honest as I can and not hurt others, but I do have a cruel streak when pushed. People I consider my friends I am very loyal to and will do anything and everything I can to help them, but it takes me a while to warm up to people.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Neil Peart of Rush, and why not? He's been my biggest single influence in drumming, not to mention that he is just an all around interesting human being. Although truth be told I want to meet any of the drummers who've influenced me, I like to take a little of what they do and incorporate it into my playing and build on it making it my own.

I'd also like to meet anyone from any of my favorite bands as they have helped define the way I approach music and the style I play it.
