About Me

Howdy people!! I am a divorced father of two, Fox and Frannie. They are awesome kids! I am so proud of them! I live with my fiance, Lynda (who is the most kickin girl ever. Also, I have a slew of step-kids; Amy, Michael, Rachel, Wade, and Emma. It's kind of like the Brady Bunch on the weekends. We call it 'The Zoo'. When you have this many little ones to look after and care for, it really does turn out to be that way at times. I help out my buddy Chris at his pool and hot tub store. I just love talking about Marquis hot tubs; those things are kick ass! Well, I play drums, if you haven't already figured that one out yet. I've played since I was about 12. My musical resume has always been longer than my real job-related resume, although I've had a crap load of so-called 'careers'. I've played with, or set in with countless bands and musicians. I've opened up for world famous performers and have done countless shows. Music is more than just what I do, it is literally who I am. I do ebay quite a bit and am continuously buying and selling musical gear. I guess it's sort of my job, but it's also my hobby or passion. I'm into science fiction and science fact quite a bit. I love the paranormal and stuff that isn't part of 'normality'. I'm a huge astromony buff. In other words, 'a nerd'.I am the drummer for an all original progressive rock group called Chemical Valley. Our new CD is out and is available. We will begin playing shows in early '09. That band is simply amazing!!I am also the drummer for The Jody Haught Band. Our EP is out and we have numerous shows booked for the fairs and festivals tour this year. We also will be performing at local establishments as well, so look for us and come check out a show. This is GOOD STUFF!!{}

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that love the look of the world from behind the drumset as much as I do! Or just good people who enjoy good music and good times.

My Blog

God, we suck.

Wow, this week has really been just...a complete pile of steaming feces.  My best friend told me once that I was, (oh, how did he put it?) "The unluckiest SOB he has ever met."  I do, I think I'm curs...
