I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

so it goes like this: I'm going to start...the REVOLUTION! lol, ok, seriously, I'm on this to keep in touch with old and new friends. I'm originally from San Diego (Chula Vista) where I was born and raised for 22 years of my life. I moved away to go to school in Hollywood at Musicians Institute. I met my beautiful girlfriend Gina while I was attending that school and about 3 or 4 months before I graduated I moved in with her and her roomy/bff Josh. Anyways, after graduating I spent a lot of time trying to acquire students to teach my new found knowledge (music) to. Then I got into doing some stage work for a couple of different companies, which I'm still a part of in addition to another job that I work. It's a home automation company. You ever seen MTV's Cribs? When those people are like, "Yo, check out my crib!" and they've got all sorts of controls for their sound and lighting and theatres and saunas and spas and security cameras and little devices that let the maids and cooks of the house know that the owner wants something that's sitting right across the room... yeah, well I install and run wire for that type of crap.

My Interests

I play music as much as I can. If I'm not doing that then I'm I'm usually thinking about it in some way. I dig hanging out with my girlfriend who's also into music and promoting artists.

I also read as much as I can, when I can, about various subjects.
