About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4In a past life I was in the US Air Force and stationed in Ramstein AB as a part of our Weapons Maintenance Flight. Prior to that was Albuquerque, NM. Prior to that, Monterey, Ca. And prior to AF life I was a starving musician and student in Los Angeles (Inland Empire) area.I miss San Diego. There is always something fun to do or some great music to catch. There are some very talented folks out there so take the time to catch them live. ..[endif]--
