About Me

I'm a person that's read nearly 5,000 books from the time I was in the first grade till now. And I wasn't reading light. Don't get me wrong, I read Beverly Cleary and Gary Paulsen, but I also read Moby Dick and Black Beauty that year. When I was in Jr. High I read John Steinbeck, when I was in High School I read every book by Stephen King, John Grisham and Michael Crichton.What else? I never graduated. School bored me so much that I quit before I could finish. Got a GED instead. Then I went to work designing and implementing web based business solutions for companies like Moon Global Networks, Covad, ClubNet. I still design sites on the side.I'm a musician. I started singing when I was 2. When I was 7 I started to play the violin. By the time I finished Elementary school, I was in the Fontana Schools Honor Choir and Honor Orchestra. In the next three years I learned viola, cello, standup bass, and began learning the drums. Before I got out of high school I played 15 more instruments including piano, electric and acoustic guitars, xylophone, bells, etc. Lots of pit percussion (band term).I'm a photographer.[LOVEMYFLASH]
