In the words of Joe Elliot, I'm your average, ordinary, everyday dude. Just a down to earth musician kinda guy, looking to make friends, meet naked women, meet other musicians and other music lovers. I am co-founder and drummer/vocalist for a weekend dance rock cover band called The Renegade Monks. Look around here, and if I sound interesting enough to be a possible friend or an add, drop me a line.
Who I'd like to meet: Jukka Nevalainen, Tuomas Holopainen, Mike Portnoy, Tommy Lee, Neil Peart, Vinnie Paul, Scott Rockenfield, Robert Sweet, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Annie Duke, Daniel Negreanu, Tiger Woods, Taylor Bow, Taija Rae, and Ciro Marchetti.
