About Me

During the week, I work for a corporate fashion giant. I'm in charge of millions of dollars worth of hip coats from Mongolia and custom ripped jeans. Then I go out on Friday night and I get home on Saturday morning. Don't remember much after that. Must not be that important.Turn offs include: advertising, lies, fascism, hypocrites, boredom, numb skulls, stupidity, & people who are senselessly cruel ...................I was/am the drummer/leader of THE MAGIC BEANS. We kind of play weird soul music or psychedelic garage pop. We need to focus, right? After going through 214 musicians (mostly bass players), the band relocated to the cheap rents of Columbus and Cleveland Ohio. We are currently regrouping.
