Shhh...hear it...IT'S COMING!

About Me

Since there will be 2 other myspace pages dedicated to my new bands, I'll use this space to tell ya a little about me. First and foremost, I'm a 34 yr old husband to my beautiful wife CARRIE. We have been through some very hard times, but we continue to walk together hand in hand, side by side, stronger than ever. LOVE tends to do that! I'm also a singer, songwriter, and an overall music junkie, as well as a tow-boat deckhand out on the river...the Chicago Sanitary and Shipping Canal...Lovely water to ride! I love my job, it fits right in with the town where I was born and raised, Joliet. Being from this hardcore blue collar town has influenced alot of what I write about. The hard work, the sometimes suffering and check to check living, and the ever present and overwhelming feelings of wanting to leave it all behind and make a new life themes are all things I have delt with, and continue to do so. They have shaped me into who I am. A dedicated husband, hard working, starry eyed dreamer. Not that I intend on it anytime soon, but whether I die on the river, or with guitar in hand, or old and gray in a rocking chair(probably with the guitar still in hand)...I'll die with a smile.-----------

A Way To Live

When you roll the dice, you risk it all. Better to take the chance, than never knowin' at all. This life of mine, thoughts and feelings inside, I put'em on that line, and I let'em ride....

An Old Con-Man's Words

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's not the way you play, it's the game you choose.
