About Me

I'm a New York City Transplant to Palm Springs, CA. I'm a nice guy who likes to have a little devlish fun every once in a while. I'm currently the head of the lighting department for a local production company and I get to work on all different types of shows from Concerts to backyard parties. I've had the opportunity to light such acts such as "Larry The Cable Guy", "The Bangles", "Joe Cocker", "Issac Hayes" -aka Chef and countless others. When I'm not working (which is rare) you can find me riding my motorcycle up in the mountains and every once in a while, I make it to the track. * My latest thing is getting back into auto racing. I mainly autocross but just had the chance to rallyX. I never thought I would have so much fun playing in the mud!..

My Interests

Motorcycles (Sport Bikes), Cars, Autocrossing, Photography, Theatre, Movies, Travel, Rock & Roll, Reading, Gym, Hiking, teasing ;-) My score on The Motorcycle Personality Test :

Yamaha YZF R1
(You scored 7 moxie, 7 zeal, and 2 pomp!)

You're addicted to speed, but have the knowledge and experience to match. Although you like to win, you don't really care so much about competing with others as much as competing with yourself.Your bike is the Yamaha YZF R1. Given how easily the rear wheel on this beast spins up coming out of turns, it is fortunate that you constantly work to improve your skills. (I've seen more R1s crash at track days than any other bike.)It was a close decision with the Suzuki GSXR1000, but your personality seemed a bit more R1-ish. (But hey, I could be wrong. Its only a silly test.)

The home front

Here's another rant for those who care to listen.... Suddenly (well maybe not suddenly) immigration is becoming a big concern. Maybe it's because there exists a group out there that know the mea...

Damn It!

All I have to say is "At least I'm not guilty of vehicular man slaughter". As for vehicular animal slaughter, add another notch on my belt. The ride home tonight was almost like any other. ...
