ONE good deed, it's not like I'm running for Jesus

About Me

I got my degree in physics! And now (get ready for a surprise) I am going to graduate school for music! So I guess for a living I'll just keep playing in the various orchestras around here, playing at UNR and live at my ranch! I get to go back to Telluride again this summer (I guess they liked what I've been doing the last couple years) and play a Dvorak string sextet and Faure Requiem. I really can't think of a better job than going to beautiful Telluride Colorado and playing with great musicians. As for the rest of my life that isn't music: I spend a lot of time entertaining my friends (mostly my girlfriend), I moved to the ranch, I am just getting back in to baseball (since recovering from a broken Hamate Bone in my left hand), and as always I am riding a lot of motorbikes.

My Interests

Cello, Baseball, my girlfriend Lauren, Flight, Mountains, Cliffs, Physics, Dirtbikes and Dirt, People (friends), Concrete, Anything Outside and Beautiful (the more remote the better), Food, Space Exploration, Archery, blowing stuff up at my ranch, racquetball, BIG MOUNTAINS, and almost everything else. There really isn't that much that I am not interested in.

I'd like to meet:

Dortmunder, Rhodenbarr, Sharpe, Phaedre, and other fictional charracters.

Music:

Classical, but not just any classical, a lot of it is crap. Solo cello music (Kodaly, Ligeti, Reger, Crumb, Britten, Sibelius, Schuller, etc.), well written climactic chamber music (Bartok, Shostakovich, Brahms, Barber, Chausson, Dvorak etc.). Pretty much anything written for the cello and performed well.

Movies:

Oh man, I like movies! Movies are something that I watch a lot of. I don't really have the time, I do it anyway though.

Television:

I don't have any TV channels at my house, but we watch some Simpsons DVDs and Dave Chapel on our big screen.

Books:

Carl Hiaasen, Tony Hillerman, Brian Jacques (yeah I know, a kids book author, I read it when I was little and still like it), Giancoli, Dave Barry, and many others. I'd like to also point out in this category, that Dan Brown is a formulaic author who's writing hit a new low with his new book, Digital Fortress, which really sucked... I can't believe I've read everything he's written, freaking airport novels.

Heroes:

My parents: for Raising me. My Friends: for keeping me entertained and... mooching off of me all the time. My Dogs, Bo, Odo, Joe, and Missi, for being in a good mood all of the time. My girlfriend: For putting up with me, and being everything a guy could want in a girl. Joseph Smith: Because he told a story, and people believed it.
