About Me

Work for a major railroad as an engineer and conductor. Spent most of my life working as a musician, audio engineer and producer and was successful enough to scratch out a living at it. Worked for a few bigger bands doing tours all over the US, Europe and Asia. Lived at various times in Knoxville, TN. Macon, GA. Redondo Beach,CA. Marina Del Rey, CA. Grenada Hills, CA. and all around Atlanta, GA. Pretty much a homebody now as I've enjoyed putting down some roots and being around my family more. I still love music and hope to stay involved but finaly wanted something with more stability and a retirement plan so, the railroad being next on the list of my youths fantasy jobs here I am. Check out my photos for some of the places I've worked. I tend to be pretty easy going but well focused on my work while maintaining a sense of fun. Love to go on cool rides. I've become more fond of mountain biking Here's a shot of me on top of Cedar Rock near Brevard, NC in 2006. What a cool climb straight up a rock face.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Old Friends, Cool folks, Musicians. Sorry, not really interested in your Live Webcam shows, special photos or the Trojans/viruses that you download with your pages. Really, I lived on several Heavy Metal tours, I've seen it ALL already. If I don't know you it would help if you drop me just a short note with a friend request to weed out the spam sites here. Yes, I am still interested in working with musicians. Willing to write and/or record with the right artists. Just gotta work around my railroad insanity. If you wanna hear some examples of my work just drop me a line and I can send you some Mp3's.
