.:: layout editor ::.
I've been living here in Sacramento for 3 years now after 11 years in the east bay (San Ramon,Concord). I live here in the Natomas area,and it's a great part of Sac....my favorite thing here is walking to Arco to see a concert. I saw some great shows there this year,especially the Genesis,Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Van Halen concerts. I've been doing a lot of drumming since I moved here and have expanded my drum collection with some nice Tama and DW drums. I also have a Roland V-drum set I use in my place to practice on.You can view some photos in my pic section. I took part in the Guitar Center drum off this year for the first time..I did'nt place in the top 2,but I received a few good compliments on my playing...wait til next year.Im back with my old band Silent Dissention...we play covers of rock-metal-alternative songs from 80's-90's and stuff from today.I'm glad I started this multi-color mess I call my MySpace page. It's great to meet new people here as well as finding friends from the past in Napa where I grew up. I saw a lot of them at my 20th year reunion last September 15th...what a great time that was. I recently got into mountain biking and I have a Gary Fisher Big Sur bike. I plan to hit some trails around Granite bay and Marin County. I also am looking forward to spending time with my new girlfriend Melissa(below)...she is a great caring person who always makes me laugh til it hurts. I'm glad I found her....and I thank God everyday she is in my life.
