About Me

Well, I'm a nerd with no life. I am an Engineer, Producer, Composer, Guitarist, etc. That's pretty much it, I have 2 day jobs to "pay the bills". One of them is pretty cool but I don't work enough. The other one sucks except for the few cool people that I work with. Ideally I want to have my own studio and find upcoming artists to produce their albums. But for now I am doing the band thing so I have to deal with the mediocrity in the job department. I am in a band, Illium, and I am trying to finish our first album right now which is proving to be more of a pain in the ass than a pleasure. I am also working with another artist, Naomi Recania, writing with and producing her. Below is a link to Illium's page. Add us if you like it. http://www.myspace.com/illiummusic

My Blog

Pictures are bueno.

If only I had a license to harm people.
