About
me: I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and spent my early years in
New Orleans. By junior high I was living in Richmond, TX, outside of
Houston, where my stepfather landed a job with a deepwater drilling
company as an administrator. That job took us to Cairo, Egypt, where I
spent my first 3 years of high school in a closely-knit American
community, and from where I had the opportunity to travel to Paris,
Athens, Rhodes and around Egypt on many school trips. My senior year of
high school was spent in Singapore, from whence I was able to take
short trips to Bankok, Bali, and Kathmandu. Doing all this traveling at
such a young age left many a profound impression on me, chief among
them that people are the same underneath the skin anywhere you go. I
also learned to play guitar an developed an interest in becoming a
musician during this time.
I returned to the States in 1981 to attend college, and my
days of company-paid trips were soon to be a thing of the past. Much
partying and indecision later, I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana
University in Hammond, LA, with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 1988. I
had married in 1987, and so, having new resposibilities, I went to work
in the Food Service industry in Houston. In 1991 I was hired by
Enterprise Leasing to work in the wholesale department, and over the
next 5 years became an Area Remarketing Manager, selling 300-800 rental
and leasing cars to dealers every month. All this without ever using
the Internet.
In 1996 I bought my first computer and began trying to teach myself
everything I could learn about how to use it. I started getting into home music recording and eventually also website design and publishing for my own site, Implosion Music. I also left Enterprise in 1996 and began working for smaller companies that would let me develop some entrepreneurial skills. I have bounced around from job to job ever since trying to learn something new from each but never finding the lifestyle I was really happy with. But life is a journey, not a destination, so the real point has been to try and enjoy the ride as much as possible, and I have to say there have been some really great times along the way.
Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet other musicians and/or producers and make more connections. I would like to get a serious project together someday that would be a viable way of making a living making music. Right now I am driving a semi for a living and it doesn't leave me much time to do the creative stuff I really love to do. I
would like to meet other people whose journeys have led them to the
place where they had to decide for themselves which direction in life
they really wanted to take, and have chosen the path that leads upward. I want to meet people who
have the drive and the determination to move forward on their own steam
and want to constantly improve the way they do things. Also please feel free to find out more about me by
