About me:

I lived in San Diego for a while, which is apparently in California...

...having moved here in 2005 from Malvern/Exton/Downington area outside Philadelphia where I lived for 9 years, and now live again. The hometown is Westborough, Massachusetts. I live with my best friend, soul mate, and love of my life and expect to spend the rest of our lives laughing at almost everything we encounter.

I work as a professional person in a professional small technology company, but my Myspace has nothing to do with that. If you are a co-worker of mine, stop looking at this and mind your own business.


We try to see as much live music as possible, but of course with the work week in the way of it, we don't get out to see bands during the week any more. We believe very strongly that the best music out there is NOT being made by bands with big record contracts, but rather with the hard-working, creative songwriters and bands you can find in every town in America (and the UK, and Ireland) in pubs and clubs and small rooms. Go find them and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSICIANS. Every now and then you'll find something about the bands we see in my blog here.

Stuff that gets my attention (besides my girls and dogging cool bands on both coasts) include the Red Sox, baseball, sports, reading historical biographies, and good movies.


I went to college at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Holy Cross College, and Lesley College. A long time ago.

I am actually a drummer, not a guitarist like in some of the pictures. I sit in now and then with bands in San Diego and West Chester PA, and would love to get into a situation where I can play in bands again. Alas, the full-time day job makes it impossible to be out banging drums until 2AM on weeknights.
Some people make the commitment and do it. Some people "grow up". I'm stuck in limbo, a sort of an undead rock'n'roll drummer among the living.
I am teaching myself guitar and own a 1959 Gibson ES-225T and brand spankin' new Fender California Series Sonoran SCE acoustic to go along with my 1966 Walberg & Auge Perfection drum set.

I like baseball, rock-and-roll, movies from the UK and Ireland, and my girlfriend. I've been everywhere (man), and my favorite cities are London, San Diego, Dublin, Boston, and Atlanta.
