About Me

________________________________________________
Recent events: Family trip to Disneyland on SuperBowl Sunday!

I've got a few areas of my life. It keeps me busy.1.) Personal life: Married to a wonderful woman who I love and respect so much for what she does. Two little kids who constantly amaze and humble me. A very nice house in Chula Vista that will suit our needs for a long time I hope.2.) Work Life: Recently made a big change in my carreer as a pharmacist. I began working for a major pharmaceutical company as part of their Research/Development division. I now work in the Professional Education department as a Scientific Manager in the area of Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. I do have to travel a fair bit for my job, but when I don't travel, I work out of my home...so there is a decent balance. If my wife was not staying at home with the kids, it would be much harder to do this job.3.) Music Life: I still love to play music. I've been playing trumpet again semi-professionally and professionally now for 10 years. My wife knows that I enjoy playing and it is a kick to see my kids enjoying it too. Practice time is hard to come by with all of the above going on too, but I do the best I can.

My Interests

Playing trumpet, spending time with family and friends, riding road bikes and mountian bikes, and Xbox 360

I'd like to meet:

Not gonna happen: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gilespie, my grandfather Tobitt.Still a chance: Lance Armstrong, Morgan Freeman, Bill Clinton, Lyle Lovett, Wynton Marsalis.

Goodbye Dolly!

After several long rehearsals, the company decided last night that they were not going to use any horns (one woodwind and one trumpet) for the production. The theater is quite small and a trumpet (eve...
