Hi There! I have been a part of the Western MD music scene since 1983. I have been involved with the following projects- Country Explosion, Fire on the Mountain, Trouvere, 50/50, Revenge, Foul Play, Bottom Line, and One-Eyed Jack.

I am currently in the acoustic group 33 and 1/3 (rhythm guitar/vocals) and most recently joined Social Grudge (bass).

I am proficient on the following instruments at varying levels: Guitar (rhythm and lead), Bass, Keyboard, Vocals (lead and backing). I am also an active songwriter. Hopefully time will permit me to record and post several of my works in the past year here for your listening enjoyment!

For my REAL job, I am a computer jock for a local rare coin and collectibles firm called The Reeded Edge. I manage the office network, computers, and peripheral devices as well as our website at www.reedededge.com as well as our listings on several online marketing sites including CCE's Collectors Corner, CoinZip, and eBay. Presently, I am at-home studying for my A+ and Network+ exams and I am self-studying the Ubuntu Linux OS. I am proficient in most Windows OSs including Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I consider myself to be an advanced HTML and PHP coder and hoping to expand my knowledge by adding advanced CSS, ASP, and AJAX in the near future.

Music is my primary hobby even though I have frequently been a part of successful working bands in the area. Even when I'm not in a group, I enjoy listening to and learning new music. I used to be a big D&D player in my college days and I have rediscovered that lost love playing World of Warcraft. I presently have two characters and they both belong to the "Spartan's Honor" guild.

I am married to the most wonderful wife in the world, Wanda. I have four complete awesome stepchildren: Joanna, Katrina, Amber, and David. While I have disagreements with the kids from time to time, I love them as if they were my own and I feel that I couldn't do any better than if they were my own flesh and blood. I also have 1 grandson, Trey.

My current idol is a capuchin monk who lives in Italy. His name is Brother Cesare Bonizzi and is a lead singer in an Italian Heavy Metal band. Who says old guys can't rock?

Here's a cool video of a tornado at sunset. I've always been fascinated with them and dream of one day getting a chance to participate in a storm chaser tour
