my general interests? being happy and enjoying my life, spending time with my daughter, traveling, making records and performing with the band, and writing books. I also love sports, especially football, but i also love baseball, hockey, and golf. I enjoy going to games or watching them on tv. and I'm addicted to fantasy football! I have other interests as well, but you would have to get to know me better to learn about those things....and then I'd have to kill you.
Music
all types. I'm all about a good melody and a good beat...and amps that go to 11! actually, I like quiet amps. my amps only go to 7. ssshhh...keep it down.
Movies
I love a good movie! "braveheart", "true romance", "once", "love actually", "no country for old men", "pulp fiction", "the big lebowski", "bandits" (did you ever see that one? bruce willis, billy bob and kate blanchet? a very underrated movie), hugh grant, russell crowe, jeff bridges, and clint eastwood productions (he's the man!).
Television
I love watching tv! I tend to keep it on more for the company - background noise - sports mostly, the news, an occassional sitcom or late night program. I'm not into the reality shows at all...too real.
Books
I love to read. when i find an author i like, i will typically read a handful of their books until i get bored and need something different. the author i'm into lately is Christopher Moore. i HIGHLY recommend 'Lamb: the gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal' - one of the funniest, greatest stories ever told, in my opinion. 'You Suck' is also very, very good.
Heroes
everybody is somebody's hero, right? I have lots of heroes. bob, john, jimmy, jimi, dad, dali, da bears, kurt and goldie, braveheart, larry, moe, and curly - just to name a few.
About me:
I am the guitarist for the grammy award winning (very proud of that) rock band TRAIN. The band is currently writing and recording our fifth studio release, which we plan to release sometime in the first half of 09. I have also finished writing my first novel titled 'The Guitar on the Wall," but don't have plans to publish until after the Train CD and tour are over. A close friend of mine and I launched a line of women's clothing in the fall of 07 called "diHERA," which you can now find in Neiman Marcus, Barney's, Saks.com, Anthropologie (under "Aryn Gray" label), and other high-end clothing stores and boutiques in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Our line has already been featured in many of the top magazines, and is being worn by some of the biggest celebrities. Despite the bad economy, we're off to a good start! I currently reside in Las Vegas where I have a very beautiful, very smart, eight year-old daughter, and I also have a condo in Chicago where I like to attend sporting events and hang out in one of my favorite cities in the world.

Who I'd like to meet: Barack Obama, Tony Bennett (i shook his hand once on the red carpet at the Grammy's, but i'd love to sit and have coffee with him!), Al Gore, Jimmy Page, Steven Wright, Alice Cooper (I met him once. he actually jammed with Train on a VH1 special, but I'd like to golf with him or something), Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks (don't ask. for some reason I just like that guy), and Marissa Tomei (of course!).
