About Me


RATE SONGS LEAVE COMMENTS TAKE CHANGE WHEN APPLICABLE...
"Superhero Rock Guitarist" searching far and wide for equally ridiculous front man/band or otherwise riff-rock powerhouse machine. I live for this . I'll never lose the love for some ass shakin dirty funky jazzy steely slick as hell s&*^ too, so don't be scared... always lookin for new connections and to hang + meet with people who can really play, let me know who you are and what you are doing...
Some Useless Tidbits:
    *I'm the youngest of 4, my one bother was born on the exact same day 16 years apart. I also share my b-day with Keith Richards. *I grew up with my family + my godparents + their kids. It was like your favortie cheezed out 70s afternoon sitcom. *You know in Lethal Weapon how Mel Gibson's shoulder dislocates?...mine does that. *I can walk on my toe knuckles, they are really strong. *I was once arrested with 15 people for stealing all the Jack-o-lanterns in my town one Halloween. *I speak Italian fluently and enough French to go on vacation. *I have made wine from scratch with my family. [insert your favorite Soprano's NJ joke here] *I have been on Dateline NBC interviewed by Bawbwa Wawters. That's right, I am famous.

Favorite Book or Magazine: I rarely read a book anymore. Does that make me a dumbass? I have read mountains of books for school but since then I read the Post or Daily News all the time. I also am always reading online for various information I need daily. This is where I gather and hord useless tidbits that I spew at people to which I'd otherwise have nothing to say.

Alcohol of choice: When its really cold out I like a stout, followed by Beam or Jack. When its mild and only a light jacket is necessary, kettle or Johnny. In the heat it's Corona and Tanqueray. I will drink frozen drinks by your pool when you're not home though. I really believe there is no bad time for a chilled Jager shot.

Favorite Foods:Lasagna, Club Sandwiches, Filet Mignon, Breakfast Burritos, D&D coffee,Most things parmigiana, Anything Fra Diavolo, Wraps including Feta/Tzatziki, Monte Cristo Sandwiches, vitamin water
Worst Job Ever: In college, I worked in a Staples in a NJ Suburb in the department which sold computers, fax machines, and cell phones. It was located in a strip mall next to a Chinese Restaurant where every 2nd or 3rd week the septic system would explode and leak into the Staples break room. Given this minimal context, you can see where this is going...

3 Dinner guests: David Lee Roth, Rob Zombie and Vince Vaughn,

Favorite TV Show (Current):Robot Chicken
Favorite TV Show (All Time):Curb Your Enthusiasm
Leno or Letterman: Letterman...just for the Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler thing. Groundbreaking.
Top 3 Movies: Halloween, Goodfellas, Eddie Murphy Raw
Favorite Color: Dark Blue

Favorite Actor/ Actress: Pacino / Angelina Jolie

Coke or Pepsi? Anything as long as it's Diet. I operate with a few mild dependencies one of which is nutrasweet.

Any Pets? Not now but I have. I love dogs the most. The coolest dog I had was a boxer/rot mix. His name was Rocco and he lived with me at college.

Where were you born? Where did you grow up?Morristown, NJ/ Madison, NJ

Have you had any schooling, if so what did you study? Yes, I have. I have a really, really high-tech degree. Though I've learned much out of the classroom as well. As far as music I am self-taught, and pick things up from people I play with.

What are your hobbies? I listen to music a lot, am a social butterfly a couple nights a week, regular exercise is in there, I watch MLB when home, I go to the beach, I love relaxing in comfortable places. I love watching Horror movies and documentaries. I stay busy most of the time though.Do you have a day job? I work for a top small company in NYC. Insert Super hi- tech stuff here.

Favorite Music Experiences: I love going to bigger concerts at PNC , Giants Stadium, MSG and playing at the Summerstage for fleet week. Recently I saw Velvet Revolver which kicked major ass. Show's I've played? The coolest had to be the show we just played at Knitting Factory. Two of my closest friends were booked in the other two bands playing that night...what a night afterwords holy sh&*^!!

Ideally, what would your life be like 5 years from now? On tour, ending right when it gets cold, then going to follow summer around the world for a year

Best advice you ever got: "Take a right here."

Geeky thing about you no one knows: Hmmm...I worked on a project with NASA in VA when at school. Also, hot smart women like Scully from the X-Files give me a stir down south.

Who is your inspiration? My family is my biggest inspiration, my parents have a pretty amazing story. But plenty of people who have a great story make this list, that is people who start with nothing and achieve everything by being talented with their respective gift.
