General

Food, all types of creative innovative ideas. Enjoy visiting new restaurants and bars. Always want to try and see something new. Music, almost all types. It really sucks though, when you go out to see what could be a great band, but they f*#King have the music way to loud! Then it's not so great anymore. Bikes, Choppers, and Street Rods. Old school stuff mostly. I really would like to get a 56 Mercury or a 56 Cadillac convertable. I enjoy having friends come over for cook outs or hanging in the Freaky Tiki. It is great to be able to have a place at the convenience in your basement of a corner bar. I will always have our doors open for family and friends to come over at any time for a cocktail, food and company!
Music

Music has been my whole inspiration through my life, though some would argue! I enjoy all types of music. I can listen to everything and get something out of it. Though some genres/types more than others, music is all about attitude of the moment, expressing thoughts emotions and feelings at a time or time period. I will "date" myself and say that I am a prodigy of the "Hair Bands" of the 80-90's. My life dream was to be a Rock Star, and for a long time I lived that life. I grew up on classical, classics, blues and rock. My first album was ASIA and the KISS Platinum Album. I had a white turntable with one speaker that I would sit around and just play all day. I started playing music when I was in 4th grade. I played the saxophone. From there I continued to play all through High School and went to Berklee in Boston for a music major. All throughout High School, I played in several bands, living the dream of being on top. I grew into playing many different instruments, but never really getting the discipline down as I did earlier. I always wanted to be the front man. We would jam all night and party like there was not going to be another day. We would sit around and write songs about trials of a frustrated teenager. I did my best to dry myself out. I travelled out on my own to Boston to begin living my dream. I went to one of the best Music Colleges in the World. While in Berklee, I put everything on the line with a band in Boston. We had a unique sound. It was old metal yet very new alternative. A great cross between something like Black Sabbath meets Soundgarden. It had its own soul. I packed up an old friend from ATL and borught him to Boston. We sold or lost everything but our music, attitudes, clothes and equipment. We were booked to go cross country and really take all this to the top. We began to capture people's attention. We found an great drummer who could back VH!! We had everything, so we thought until we began to loose ourselves. trials of life set in and weeks before the tour, I broke down on the side of the road. I had no money and hours away from Boston. My buddy Sal came to get me, but when he arrived his news of the band breaking up came with him. I just stood there in a gaze. That day I left my soul an
