About Me


I am in love with my wife, the kids that we are raising and the home that we make for ourselves. I can never express how grateful I am of everyday that I have a loving family at home. We, as a whole, are completely diverse as people, full of creativity and with different perspectives on life. My wife is the most incredible woman that I will ever know. She is the best mother and wife on this earth.Andrea in Green (made with Corel Painter)

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, artists, philosophers, Mythological figures, Kali Ma, Shiva, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Nicolo Paganini, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Dali, Escher, Jesus, Buddha, Satan, James Earl Jones, Jack Black...

Music:

I've played the bass since I was a teenager, so I've been exposed to alot of jazz and different styles of music. I love the classic John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonias Monk...etc They have opened many musical doors for me and currently listening to alot of eastern music like Omar Faruk Tekbelik, Zakir Hussain, Paradox Trio.I listen to just about anything though. I like some of the stuff that they are doing in R&B/Hip Hop, and still listen to Rock and Roll. Music has always been a creative outlet for me, very medatative, and healing. I love to Drum as well

Movies:

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Hero, Jet Li's Fearless, Braveheart, Gladiator, Amelie, Kingdom of Heaven, Pirates..., Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Monty Python, Fantasy, Epic, Foriegn, Independant films, Star Wars, Lord Of the Rings, Matrix, Schindlers List, Dances With Wolves, Errol Flynn, Marian C. Cooper, Shrek, Toy Story, The Incredibles... Yes I'm a geek

Television:

Not much actually. Too much emphasis on the cheesy, material perspective. The Daily Show, The Cobert Report, and the Chappelle Show. Samurai Jack kicks ass. Sanford And Son "Lamont, you big dummy."

Books:

Art books (Dali, Escher, Brian Froud, Spectrum series, Art Instruction)Burne Hogarth-Dynamic Anatomy, Cultural, Travel, History, Biography, Tad Williams, Anne Rice, Dan Brown, Tolkien, Homer, Terry Pratchett, Stephen King, Louis Lamour, Tony Hillerman, Piers Anthony, Dante, Alister Crowley, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Edger Allen Poe, Phillip K. Dick...A book that I recommend to all artists is:
Alex Grey has really opened up some artistic windows for me and is one of my favorite contemperary artists.

Heroes:

Andrea McVey for showing me what it means to be passionate, compassionate, to be strong and for showing me the meaning of true love. Miles Davis for evolving the sound of Jazz music.The Green Lantern, Bruce Lee, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley, Frodo Baggins, Yoda for his infinate wisdom, Kali for destroying a large part of my ego...

Integrity

The word "Integrity" has come up alot, and most recently in my life. Due to vast, spontaneous changes in my life, I've been forced to step back and look at myself and where my path is leading. So...
