I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a professional musician. I primarily consider myself a lead vocalist and that is where my main interest lies although I can play (and have played professionally) just about every instrument. Right now I am band leader, lead vocalist, and bassist for S'witch, lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist for LiteS'witch, and I'm working as a personal trainer in the Charleston area. I also play bass occasionally for The Oasis Band of Charleston. In the past, I left the music field to go to school to become a chiropractor. I graduated with my doctorate and practiced for a couple years. I have now exited the chiropractic field to go back to the music and fitness fields. Never do something to make other people happy or try to fit into a mold at the expense of your soul. Or at the expense of a bigger paycheck. If it doesn't make your heart happy, find out what does. (This is not a comment on chiropractic, just on some of my choices.)
Some of my past & present bands include Coup-Fourre, Jezebelle, Striker, Mantis, Big Bang, Beer Snacks, Waldo, Joni's Fault, Squirrel, The Astrocytes, VSC-Free, Pett Rox, Jet Chester, Cruise-o-Matics, Starling, Guilty Pleasure, The Cool, Joy Ride, Joy Ride Party, Joni & Miles Duo, Big Bang (how ironic to have been in 2 completely different bands with the same name), The Oasis Band, LiteS'witch, and S'witch...As soon as we've recorded decent versions of our originals, and have taken care of that pesky copyright thing, we will be posting some original material here from my new band S'witch. Watch for it. Add S'witch as a friend too (myspace.com/switchitch). I'll post more info in my blog about S'witch as it becomes available.
Please see the S'witch site or my blog for my performance schedule.

Your Power Bird is an Owl
You are beyond wise. You are so smart, you're almost prophetic.
Your inner voice always speaks the truth, and you take the time to listen to it.
You are good at seeing who people are... including the darkness of others.
As a result, you tend to have a rather dark - yet realistic - outlook on life. What's Your Power Bird?

My Interests
