About Me

Retired Military, now own a computer/networking business. I'm married, I have 3 kids, Stephanie 22, Billy 16 and Kelly 9. I'm orginally from Reading PA. Got stationed at Moody AFB Ga., where I retired. I've been in the music scene in numerous capacities for a very long time. I play guitar, keyboards, and have dabbled in percussion and bass guitar over the years. I've played in bands since my early high school years. Nothing ever seemed to hit though. After years of that, I got tagged into DJing, at a club. I was stationed in Panama at the time, and the DJ that was playing Rock & Roll nights was leaving. He knew I had a "Large" album collection so he asked me to help him out. I learned the trade, and took over when he left. I packed the house every Friday and Saturday night. The military then picked me up and shipped me to Indiana, where I learned that Rock & Roll was not a popular DJ medium, so, started learning the Rap, R&B, Hip-Hop scene. Learned to mix, and scratch. I guess you could say I DJ'd at clubs for the next 14 years or so. I've always had a desire to get back into the band scene, but, I now don't have the time for it. Life sux's. I'm also a computer consultant. I've been into computers for many years. Started with a Timex Sinclar. Started running a BBS back in 1985, and currently run a Telnet BBS. If you'd like to try it out, telnet to kiabbs.org.

My Interests

Computers, Bowling, Golf, DJing music in general. I've been running the sound board at Rascal's for the last couple of years.

I'd like to meet:

My Rock and Roll Hero's of the 70's, 80's, 90's and today.

Music:

Rock and Roll and Dance/Rap R&B, Hip-Hop, pretty much everything from AC/DC to ZZ-Top on the Rock & Roll side, and all the new club music. I've always been a southern boy at heart, and enjoy Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special type music... But there's that head banger in me, that can put on some Metallica , Megadeath, and such... then there's the dance side, and well, Eminem just makes me laugh, and I really like this Cassie Me & you song... I can't really pick an out and out favorite, but, currently I listen to Linkin Park more than the rest. :)

Movies:

Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi!

Television:

Don't like much regular TV. I usually watch discovery channel, things like Miami Ink, American Chopper, and such.

Books:

Rascals Calendar

Heroes:
