All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become. ~ Buddha
I am married and have an adorable daughter.

I'm complicated, outta my mind, yet down to earth, moody moody moody, realistic yet a dreamer, social but sometimes completely anti-social... a total contradiction if you will, open and honest, loving and understanding, passionate about everything I do, sometimes I get lost, but somehow I always end up in the right place... maybe I'm just down right crazy, still in this "earth school" or whatever learning all of life's lessons right along with everyone else. I could write a book about my life...my story needs to be told!
I love music. This is my big passion, I am an 80's hair bands fan. I first discovered this music in the summer of 1986 when I heard the song 'The Final Countdown' of Europe on the radio. Europe has captured my heart and soul since this day. I was hooked…the melody, the guitar, the keyboards… It all came together for me. I immediately went out and bought my first album which one was 'The Final Countdown'. I was so proud. It was a major change in music tastes for me, all this due to Europe. I started to discover Rock'n'Roll bands like Bon Jovi, White Lion, Mötley Crüe, Cinderella, Guns N'Roses... Europe delivered a rare brand of music that pumped me up in my life. Europe taught me the meaning of music. They have bridged a generation gap. Here I am still a admirer 21 years later they still manage to do the same thing they did back then, bring joy into my life. Music is such a priceless way of expressing oneself, and I truly believe that life wouldn't be complete without it. Mike Tramp is a big influence too. He has shown me that through grit and determination, I can achieve my goals. His music is not about noise but about life. I've passed through too many different moments that songs of this guy describe exactly.
To me they represent the everlasting spirit of true rock and roll, and the fight to the end spirit that sadly no longer exists in the new world of music.
