Hi, I'm Abe.
I'm a married guy, 30 years old, living in California. I grew up in Germany, where I attended Patch Barracks Elementary, before moving back here to the 'States. I'm a Burroughs High School graduate from the class of '97. After BHS I went up the hill to Cerro Coso, where I met and got to know the wonderful, beautiful woman who would eventually become my wife. I pursued my BS in marketing at San Francisco State University, then found out that I loath sales. Now Nicole and I live in the Central Valley with our three cats and bunny in our little yellow house.
It seems like it would be so easy to write a synopsis of your life...until you have to sit down and do it, that is. To try and create a succinct overview of your achievements and beliefs requires over-simplification to an almost criminal degree.
I am, on any given day, agnostic. Sometimes I'm a secular anti-humanist, other days simply areligious. All this basically means that I don't believe in an omniscient, omnipotent creator deity...the idea just doesn't make a lick of sense to me. All the same, I certainly can't say for sure that there is or isn't a God, and moreover, it's a tired topic. Scads of folks smarter, more educated, and better looking than me have devoted billions of pages to discourse infinitely superior to that which I can provide.

I have played the guitar for most of my life, and currently enjoy composing in my home studio and helping good friends with their musical endeavors, which have reminded me of how cool playing the bass is. The glory days of my axe-slinging were spent in the band Spiritual Eclipse, which I founded along with my buddy Ivor. Hey, brauther! We're still involved in projects together (see below) to keep us sane in a crazy world.
There is much more to say, but most of it is dreadfully boring. Yay, me!
Please visit these bands that I'm sort of in:
