About Me


I go to school in NYC. I've played piano & keyboards in many freakin' bands. My job, I teach music at a conservatory. Small classes of jazz improv, classical, and other styles arranged. Piano, Sax, Bass, Guitar, Percussion, Vocal, Theory, most woodwinds and a few brass. I shoot hoops, I shoot pool. I eat, I cook, I eat some more. Chamipons League is my favorite sport to watch - ARSENAL! I also do what I can to help out aspiring artists and anyone in the music scene that brings original, quality, tasteful material to the table. Being proactive is the only way I know how to be. If you're timid, shy and/or missing limbs DON'T BOTHER ME!! Although, that could be funny... I'm a straight shooter, but not at all tactless. If you don't know what tactless means, then please close this window. My element is Fire: Strong, hot tempered, powerful, and passionate. Well now lets see, being fire I am quite strong and powerful, people look up to me greatly and often seek my protection. I have the ability to gain many friends and I am always one people can count on to do what I say I will do. I am extremely loyal be it friends or family I'll stick up for them and I am never willing to put them in a position that could hurt them. I know what roll I play in life, leader, and I most certainly intend to let people know it. Not everyone is capable of leadership but I certainly have the willpower and flare to do it. admittedly, I have quite a temper if it shows itself, one that can often lead me into trouble, but more often to victory. Once my mind is made up there is no changing it but no one said that was a bad thing.My birth on the 28th day of the month (1 energy) adds a tone of independence and extra energy to my big damn Life Path.The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than my path may have indicated.A birthday on the 28th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach.Unlike much of the other 1 energy, this birthday is one that endow with the ability to start a job and continue on until it is finished.I sometimes prefer to use the broad brush, but can handle details as well.I am not overly sensitive, but my feelings stay somewhat repressed.I have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.I WILL BE THE ONE!

My Interests

Anything with taste and talent.Manifestation through will. Imagination, concentration, action. Spirit and Matter united. A young man raises a doubly terminated wand in his right hand. The wand is held vertically, a tool for the unification of heaven and earth. His left index finger grounds this duality into creation drawing from the original chaos to bring into being the flowers of creation. His aura is shown as the horizontal figure eight, symbol of eternity, while about his waist is wrapped the serpen-cinture, the serpent devouring its own tail, another symbol of eternity. In front of him are the creator/magicians tools, wands, cups, swords and pentacles, symbolizing fire, water, air and earth.
