About me:

I've always detested these "so, tell me about yourself" questions... my take has always been, get to know me and figure out what you think about me for yourself. I suppose one has to start somewhere though, so...

I'm a musician. In particular, I'm a drummer. These are the gifts God gave me, and why I'm here. I never feel as real, and alive, as when I'm playing, especially in front of an audience. My degree is in music, my training is in percussion, my passion is my drum kit. I live to play music, but nothing is ever as satisfying as pounding drums with sticks!!

My goal is to be able to make enough money playing music, to be able to keep playing music - preferably while making many recordings and in front of large numbers of people! Still, it's not the numbers that makes it worthwhile, but simply the music. And that's a goal I can devote my life to.

Which Tarot Card Are You?


You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins the journey into the unknown. To do this, he does not regard the world he knows as firm and fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In order to explore and expand, one must disregard convention and conformity. Those in the throes of convention look at the unconventional, non-conformist personality and think What a fool. They lack the point of view to understand The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in tradition as one who is closest to the spirit world. In many tribal cultures, those born with strange and unusual character traits were held in awe. Shamans were people who could see visions and go on journeys that we now label hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with physical differences had experience and knowledge that the average person could not understand. The Fool is God. The number of the card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect circle. This circle represents both emptiness and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by mountains and valleys or by his physical body. He does not accept the appearance of cliff and air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary DeLave http://www.marydelave.com/

Who I'd like to meet:

If you're actually taking the time to read this... YOU! ;)

All sorts of people... people fascinate me and confuse me... knowing that every single human is totally incomprehensible, and at the same time doing the absolute best they can... it's amazing.

I used to think in terms of individuals, or at most, small groups; now, I'm happy to see who the universe puts in front of me - and who I'm put in front of as well! I'm learning that there's a balance between seeking and finding, between asking and receiving... that precious, fragile place is actually as wide as the ocean, as big as life. I'm so curious and excited to meet whomever is in there with me!
