Tim Pope Does anyone know a really good keyboardist or rythm guitarist who are available and can sing backing vocals? Male or female. If so, send them to me... Posted at 1:31 PM Nov 17 view more
About me: • Hi, my name is Tim. I'm 34 years old, was born in Michigan and raised in Orlando, Florida, where I have lived for many years. I received my degree in Visual Communications from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and I cultivate my passions in art, design, photography, drumming and music, using them all to compliment my life.
• I'm a voracious reader and my favorite pastimes include drumming, illustration, photography, writing, literature, movies, music, astronomy and technology. When I'm not cultivating these passions, I love spending as much time with my girlfriend, family and friends as I can.
• I am a former Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps, having served a four-year tour of duty as a Combat Photo Jouranist in 2nd Marine Division stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I subsequently traveled both domestically and abroad to 17 countries on various humanitarian assistance and joint training operations. Being a Marine challenged me far beyond the limits of what I thought I was capable of and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to have not only served my country, but to have also traveled the world and seen it as many will never get to. Please join my Myspace group: Rock the Troops
• Other things I love in life: performing, live music, theatre, dining out, throwing parties, billiards, archery, and spacewalking. Hey, it could happen someday! ;) The unrelenting geek in me collects rare foreign and domestic currency and poignant headlines of our time. I also love to keep up on current events and often refer to my art and photography library when I need some creative inspiration.
Who I'd like to meet: • I have the best family in the world, friends for life, and a loving girlfriend. I just want to meet a good live-in chef or "cooking slave" because one can eat take-out and left-over cold pizza only so many times a week! ;)
