Well, I'm not very good at describing myself as I think it comes across as "tooting your own horn" which I've never been good at doing. So I'll use words other have used to describe me: Passionate, talented, loving, the "peacemaker", handsome, sexy, masculine, funny. And that's just in the morning.... LOL. I'm a musician/songwriter and having been doing that since I was about 15. At 35, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. I'm very passionate about music and sports (probably a bit too passionate here) including watching and playing. Soccer was my sport of choice growing up, but age and beer have made me realize I can't keep up with those 20-something bastards that can run for days on the field. Racquetball is the sport of choice now! As for music, I'm working on a solo CD and looking for other guys interested in forming a band or group, or traveling minstrels..... whatever. I'm also an avid beer bottle collector (slang for an alcoholic....LOL) and have over a 1,000 different bottles from all over the world lining my garage walls. And, yes, I did drink them all and, no, it wasn't in one week. Always looking for new friends so feel free to drop me a line if any of this babble interests you.
