I am a quirky, mildly nerdy, nearly preppy normal guy.

I am artsy. I play in a band - and we're pretty good. I've been signed to a record label. I have toured to almost every state in the US. I record music in my basement and give it away for free. I like to help people. I like to read - Dante, the history of religion, classic American literature and whatever else my wife says is good. My music -->

I work a lot and I enjoy it.

I was the kid who finished his homework immediately after school because I couldn't enjoy playing until the work was finished. I am still that way as an adult. Don't get me wrong, I live a balanced life with my wife, kids, and other hobbies...but I love this stuff.

Odd facts ::

  • I have no sense of smell
  • I can play five instruments
  • I have been to every state except Hawaii and Alaska (though close)
  • My former band influenced a Grammy Nominee
  • I love dogs and cats equally
  • My father and his father were farmers
  • I have been to Europe but I love NYC more
