I get into just about all live music. There is just something about the energy of a live show that really gets me pumped !
Television
Ultimate Fighter, Survivor, Anything related to UFC or WEC, American Idol, Especially the ones that show the bad singers.
Books
Music store & Bass pro catalogs.
Heroes
My heroes would include way to many people to list. There were alot of influences in my life, both positive & negative. Lucky for me, I think I lean more toward the positive. There are new influences each day. All having a small effect on how I live my life.
I run affordable sound for bands, spin tunes in between sets, take pics & shoot video for the bands I work with. I also offer FREE consultation to clubs for stage design & placement so they can be more band friendly.
Sound Engineering is something that I am very serious about. I am not trying to make a living just make a little money to support the habit and this is becoming a huge habit ! If you have been to one of the shows that I have run sound for you can tell that I take great pride in the work I do. It reflects in the feedback I get from the bands, crowds & club owners.
My equipment is a 12 channel, high power 1200 watt quad amp mixer with four full range 15 inch 800 watt (1600 watt peak) Front of House Speakers, Four 2 way 15 inch 475 watt (950 watt peak) monitor's, two 700 watt (1400 watt peak) 18 inch subs, Mics & Mic Stands. My equipment can handle small to medium venues up to 1000 people. I am also in the process of working on my Light's & will soon have a full Light Show.
Some of the Artist's and Bands I have worked with are : ReZemblance, ALIAS, ED E. Ruger, Ty Bru, Stichy C, Tenacious, Matt Irie, Medic, DJ Phillie Phresh, Illpo, Scottie Flippin, Celenski, Poe Mack, Metaphor, High Rise Case Jones, TMI (Too Much Information), Almost Famous, Bum's Rush, LYP, Bic Li, Jae Black...

I made my first video slideshow and wanted to share it with you. The musician (Elizabeth Ann Middleton) is one I found through MySpace, and she generously let me use her music to set to my images. Visit her MySpace page here - http://www.myspace.com/pianorama - she's fantastic! :-)
