About me:
I was born and raised here in Tallahassee, and for some reason, I still like it here! I definately don't have the same 'I wanna get the hell outta this town' like most everyone my age always does. Im having way too much fun in this town, have alot of the best friends, and I'm not too sure I want to grow up and move away juuuust yet.
Ive been playing the drums for about 13 years now, and that has put me where I am today, with the people that I'm around. My concentration has mainly been on marching-type drumming, and concert/symphonic-type stuff, but as of lately, I'm starting to really enjoy playing drumset too. so other than true Latin percussion, I've pretty much done it all. I was in marching Chiefs/Big8 in 2002, on tenors(rookie of the year, big8 and Chefs), then center snare in 2004.
For the last few years, Ive been getting more and more involved in import car performance and customization. Ive owned 3 nissans now, and Ive sworn that I will never stray from that. I currently own a 1993 Aztec Red NX2000(really rare Nissan--fwd SR20DE, 5sp, T-Tops, VLSD, etc.), and i also drive(daily) an S13 240sx hatchback. I currantly plan on doing a full all=-motor build on the KA24DE(high compression pistons, cams, custom header, the works). it really looks like im gonna turn this passion for imports into a carreer...i was starting an AS in Automotive Industrial Technology at TCC, but as i got into the degree I really started to like the Engineering aspect of the classes, and after some research I have changed my concentration(yet again) to Engineering. Upon finishing the AA at TCC, i will hopefully be going to FSU/FAMU College of Engineering to get at least a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I then plan on using that degree to get a job either with a race team, as an engineer or with a performance parts company doing R&D for new part development, but id ultimately love to have my own performance parts company.

Hi! Since Myspace is such an important part of your world I thought i'd grace your page by leaving you a comment...I hope you had a great weekend. I know i did! ; )
What it is, yo?! This ya boi Ryan! What's poppin', man?....oops...sorry about that...I've spent close to 24 hours at FAMU w/in the last two days...anyway, I wanna drum sometime. Can we do that? Idk...you mentioned it a while back and I was wondering if you're still offering. Just let me know when you're free and I'll let you know when I'm free...which, is like...NEVER!...sux hardcore...well, either way, lemme know...or I'll probably c ya whenever I visit the drumline...ciao!
yep, House of Kolor Red Pearl. I was supposed to spray it yesterday, but I ran out of money and have to buy my clear coat before i start to spray. So are you going to NOPI, the room will be no more than $70 per person, less if a couple more go. We have two rooms.
the cars in primer right now. Should be painted this week though. Give me a bit, I want to take some pics when its done. Maybe get up with elliot and take some good ones around FSU or omething.
dont know if we'll be able to get up before i go. ill cal you tonight or tomorrow night... either case gonna have to play it by ear. got a ticket last night, and then uhaul trying to say they cant find my reservation... so far, move weekend going terribly. word up, if i dont call you, its not the end, ill be in tally again
Soooooo.....I read your comment on the big 8 page.
I didn't believe you until I realized your pf song actually sounded familiar. lol I'm going to Italy on Saturday. I'll be back in Tally around the 8th or 9th of August.
Hahaha...Tom's still a MySpace friend of yours? Wow. Anyway, Bam Bam, thought I'd see what's up. When's drumline stuff goin' on this summer? I need directions so I can come out and see the NX...take care...
Bro, I just watched your freakin awsome snare video. "Once you were the student . . . and you you are the Master," (say with deep Darth Vader voice). You been an Obi Wan level Jedi Master for some time now, but I think you may now rival Master Yoda! Enough with the Star Wars analogies, it was freggin great dude.
