Music, Working Out, Computers, Motorcycle Road Racing, Online Gaming, Poker, Photography, Videography, Art, Beautiful People, and things that make my adrenaline pump!!!!
Music
Heavy Metal, Heavy Rock, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Pop, R&B, Dance, Industrial or anything adventurous.
Movies
Action, Adventure, Good Sci-Fi. NO CHICK FLICKS! ;)
Television
Most TV Sucks. I do like to watch some sports, especially football, hockey motorcycle racing such as MotoGP and WSB & a little poker when I get a chance. There are a few shows like 24, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, House and a few reality TV shows I watch to pass the time while I work on the computer. I also watch DVDs or I will record something and watch it when it isn't interfering with everything I have going on.
Books
Anything that helps me become a better person, businessman, musician or anything that can teach me something cool.
Heroes
People with integrity, courage, honor and those that are the best at what they do.
Along with music I am into computers, motorcycle road racing, poker, photography, videography, action figures, collecting speaker systems, and playing PC games online.
My daily assistant is a miniature parrot (also know as a lovebird) named "Trixie"
Here are some clips of music that I have done for radio and television! There are many types of music, because I write many types of music!
Since these clips are for others needs in advertising they don't represent what I am doing with my bands, my style or the individuality I work so hard for. There is another myspace for all of that. When I work for others I forget about my ego and do my best to please the client. I do hope you enjoy the clips though :)
Advertising music is generally straight and simple, especially when a non musician is directing the outcome of the final product.
The first song will play by itself and cycle through the rest. To skip around or listen to others, simply click on the track you want to hear on the playlist underneath the player controls. To get to the last couple of clips you might need to grab the player on the left indention and drag it up an inch or two.

16. Pedal Pop: New piece I put together showing off the Devi Ever/Effector 13 Truly Beautiful Disaster in a hard pop/alternative setting. And “they” said the ‘Truly Beautiful Disaster’ pedal couldn’t be so tame in a mainstream 3 minute rock format. hEh! Now someone come sing to it. :D
I wrote, engineered, produced and played all the instruments, acoustic and electronic (except when mentioned below):
All real drums which Lenny Vitulli (my drummer) did under my direction except Track 14.
Track 1: Groovin Hard Rock: Bass by Heather Bishop (my Bassplayer ).
Track 8: Yeah, did this one at the last minute. You can do anything if you really want something bad enough.
Track 14: Perran Davis and Rachael Karpo. I wrote the music, we wrote the melody together. It has a short into solo.It's a rough first demo. The drums were recorded digitally....then moved to a 4-track cassette.... THEN moved to a Yamaha AW4416. Then the rest of the music was finished on the Yamaha. "Smitty" played drums (I was told at the time of the session that he played with Pepper's Ghost until 2001). Was Never Mastered(from 2001).
Track 12: Never Mastered (from 2003).
Track 16: I thought Heather played Bass on this but she said she didn't. I can't tell the difference anymore when I have "been away" from the recording for a while.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone as driven and as awesome as I am. ;)
