What's all that churning and buffing? You call that a radar screen?

About Me

I play drums in the Chicago rock outfit known as Dearborn! We can be found here on myspace-- just click this banner!Other things you may want to know about me? After working a couple years in the trades, I've recently started focusing on wood flooring. I work with my cousin, who's showin me the ropes on custom floor designs. I love the line of work. It gives me the opportunity to work really hard and still be creative. I love snowboarding. I wish I had more time to spend in the Rockies during the snowy season, but the music takes up most of my time. My home base is in Mt. Prospect, but hopefully that'll change soon. Hopefully life will take a very different direction one way or the other in the next few months. I got a feeling something very big is about to go down. ;-) I think I'm a very easy going person and can get along with just about anyone, of course there are a few exceptions. Anything else you wanna know, just ask foo!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to find people I've lost touch with. Always curious to see what everyone's been up to over the years, no matter what level we might have known each other in the past. Always up for meeting new DEARBORN fans that find my page through the band's profile. I pretty much have the most amazing girlfriend a guy could hope for, so I'm not interested in "meeting people" in that sense. And don't expect me to add you if you're one of those people that just wants a billion friends cuz you think you're hot and you're half-naked in all your pictures. But if you're an interesting person who has something to talk about, then by all means, hit me up....

My Blog

It wouldn't hurt to fall.....

I just wanted to say that I'm so tired of drama.  The mountains are drama-free.  I wish home was too.  It's disheartening to see the passion being sucked out of something you love. ...
