TIME TO MEND THE BROKEN, REMEMBER WHO WE ARE!

About Me

Ok, to be short and sweet, my life revolves around working for (the past 13 years) the band Sugar Ray & Mark McGrath (yes they are alive with new record label and currently in the recording studio with Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Staind) producing for a late 2008 release, bowling (pro bowler, signed on with Lane #1 company since 2000, run a proshop in town), my web company Web Savvy Designs which is branching off to the digital photography business this summer, my 9yo daughter Elisa (what would life be without her?), my friends and love ones (you know who you are and thank you especially Stefferzz!!) and music music music! I've had the opportunity to concert shoot everyone from Kiss, Metallica, Pantera, Devo, Kings-X, Sugar Ray to David Bowie and plan on releasing many of these photos over the past 15+ years sometime on a web site this year. Busier than I want to be but can't complain because things are great and looking better especially back to weight lifting, eating better and keeping my 30 yo looks going on 42. All is good!


My Interests



Music, family, photography, working out, web design, computers, bowling, basketball, cars, hiking, being the best person I can be.

I'd like to meet:

Shaquille O'Neal (The greatest professional sports figure and one funny guy), Bill Clinton (our greatest president ever?), John Lennon (hey he was bigger than Jesus at a time),Albert Einstein (so I can really feel what stupid is..ha!). My family that have past away before I was born! Oh yeah, one other person: George Bush, so I can personally tell him he's the worst president ever!

Music:

Too many bands to list. If the music has great songwriting and good vocals and makes either my foot, hand, head or body move then I'll probably listen to it. I like music with energy and feel. Although Rock and Metal are my favorite styles I listion to EVERYTHING! Right now the bands ruling my CD players: Porcupine Tree , Kings-X , Sugar Ray , KMFDM , Blackfield , Paradise Lost , Second Coming , Loudness , Type O Negative , dUg Pinnick and Half The World.

Books:

Don't really read books besides magazines like Bowling This Month , Muscle & Fitness , Car & Driver , Guitar Player etc monthly. Last book I read was The Culture of Fear by Barry Glassner. It will open your eyes and mind to what TV, Media, & Politicians are doing to keep America in a constant state of fear. I need to read more books. This one I'm currently reading:
