It is what it is

About Me

Where to begin............ My love of music began at an early age, it' a big part of who I am. I love to drum, and arrange music for indoor percussion groups and marching bands. I'm a BIG golfer, and I play any chance that I get. All of that, however, comes secondary to spending time with my family.

My Interests

Anything that has to do with music. Just about any sports. My true passions, besides my family, would have to be Drumming and Golf. Probably because both make you think, alot. Then again, I guess there's just something about hitting things with sticks, clubs and mallets as well.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that I can learn something from. Especially in regards to drumming or golf. If anyone can put a different spin on, or show me something from a different angle, to help me become a better player, teacher, performer or person in general. I want to meet them.

Movies:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Trailer
..who's on first with star wars

Television:

I can honestly say I could live with just 6 channels. Just give me (in no particular order) the Golf Channel, ESPN, Discovery Channel, History Channel, The Weather Channel, (especially during hurricane season) and probably CNN.

Books:
