About me:
I'm a laid-back, go-with-the-flow kinda guy with a great sense of humor. I love live music, and can be found out at the clubs checking out live bands at least 3 or 4 nights a week. I'm a computer geek (paid gig) and radio DJ (volunteer gig). I enjoy travelling and being outdoors, and I'm always up for meeting new people and having new adventures. Especially when it involves beer.
