About Me

I play music just about full time now...very lucky to be able to do what I love! I moved from NY six years ago, tried just about everything else from corporate sales to aviation, and ended up back in music! Can't fight your heart.I am lucky to be in a great band called Dying Regret!!!! They are the most honest musicians I have ever had the pleasure to work with! I just finished the drum tracks for our EP up in the craphole known as Hollywood with the producer that worked with Avenged Sevenfold and Death by Stereo!. We should have the whole thing done by Feb, and some great things will happen! I am also slowly working on my own band called Control Exist. I also play in a Cure Tribuite Band...never thought that would happen, but then again, never thought it'd be fun!!! Big goth hair and eyeliner... ha ha ha This will be the first year I get to play a show for New Years!When I actually have free time, I love to spend it with my good friends, play guitar, go to the beach, try to sing, hike, and go support my friends' bands. I am not a big fan of DJ's and clubs. I spent a long time working at one and am burnt out on all the gameplaying, roofies, fights, drama and crap! I just try not to waste a day with people's drama. Who wants to hear someone bitch? I'd rather have fun!Can't forget my love of beer...Top five include Maudite, La Fin du Monde (9% bitches), Moose Drool, and smoked stouts!Sarcasm is great. I like it when people can keep the same level of joking without being upset or taking it too far. It's no fun to be serious.I have learned a bit more lately about true friends. You'll know who really likes you when shit hits the fan! I love the excuses that people can think of when someone else is in need...very creative and transparent at the same time.

Well... you can't. I am amazed at girls who talk themselves out of dating people because they are not "in a good place" or something. Guys suprise me when they fuck up a...
