The path we were walking, I think of it often...the nail in my coffin is letting you go --vsd

About Me

By day I work in an industrial/welding supply distribution center...by night I play music in bars. Neither alter-ego wears a tie and glasses, but i've been told i'd look pretty hot in glasses. About 2 and a half years ago I was talked into moving up to Northern Indiana and so far it's been a pretty sweet decision, complete with two bands and a solid vocation.
I'm a realistic pessimist and a raging optimist at the same time. I'm the most liberal born-again christian you will ever meet. I've learned, mastered, or at least fooled around with something fitting into every classification of instrument (Woodwind, Brass, String, and Percussion). I'm a blue-collar worker who spent 3 years in college. I constantly write music as a means of escape.
Based on the occupations i've held and given my all to, I am a Computer Technician, Web Design Consultant, Front-Desk Bed and Breakfast associate, Librarian, Banquet Server, Bartender, Bouncer (which, at Kilroy's, just equals "pacifist door staff"), Entertainment Booking Manager, Prep Cook, Line Cook, Kitchen Head of Prep, Administrative Assistant, Sit-In Bassist, Typist, Writer, Actor, Vocalist, Performer, Haz-mat trained Freight-Shipper, Quality-control specialist, and Subway "Sandwich Artist". I'M SUCH A CATCH!!!

'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Music draws my life for the most part, as i've been playing and singing something since I was little. Currently i'm playing in two bands, and actively writing songs. I also enjoy going out to shows, being outdoors, tailgating, and watching football (The Colts and the IRISH!!!)
