I love spending time with my wife. Other than that, I love movies: watching them, making them, acting in them. I think I love creativity in general. It's very easy to destroy something, but to create something...especially something that affects other people is difficult.
When I'm not doing that, I like playing various sports with my co-ed rec team year round and trying to find time with my friends who live outside of MN.
My professional goal is to not suck.
Music
I've dropped out lateley when it comes to music. It's very depression really, because I used to follow a lot of different artists. Prince is by far my favorite but Motley Crew is right behind 'em. Right now, I listen to John William's scores more than anthing else...I know, It's odd. But it says a lot about who I am, I think.
Movies
My Top 10 Include: Star Wars, Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, Braveheart, The Usual Suspects, Sin City, Seven, 300...pretty much anything with Pacino in it. THERE WILL BE PISTOLS AT DAWN WITH ANYONE WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE PACINO. Good movies are hard to come by nowadays. Admitedly i'm a bit of a movie snob. I am very selective about what to add to my dvd collection but i have a wide tolorance when i comes to movies in general.
Television
Joss Whedon is the master of all television. Anything he does is golden. If you don't know who he is, I don't have the page space to tell you. J.J. Abrams is a close second though. LOST...best show on television, period. Check it out, it will suck you in.
Books
I've given up on trying to find time to read. Ugh.
Heroes
There are a lot of people who I look to as examples of success...all for different reasons. However, my only hero is my dad for his infinite patience, selflessness, and tolerance.
About me: I am an Actor/Film Maker and I am looking for a better day job. After 11 years in Social Services/Community Corrections, I have made a career change and turned my part time job into my new career. I am eager to help make the Twin Cities a place to make great films.
Who I'd like to meet: All the examples of success that I can learn from: Al Pacino, George Lucas, John Williams, Steven Spielberg, Joss Whedon, David Fury, J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, DeNiro, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connory, Sam Jackson, Bill Murry, Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt (Before Bad-jolina), Ewan MacGregor, David Fincher, Halley Barrey, John Depp, Spike Lee, Ed Norton, Brian Singer, Wes Anderson...
If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a FREE show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.
Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!
Come grab an advanced copy of the new disc from my fuzzgrunge noisepop band The Sextons, and as always bands, let me know how I can help out with your next tasty record!
This Friday, we are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. Every month or so we will present a new audio-visual performance based on a different theme/story. We will be collaborating with artists and other creative musicians along the way so let us know if you have something you'd want to bring into this project.
The first in the series is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. It will be a musical adventure, and we hope that you can come participate :)
Here's the info:

I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
