Hi everyone. . Some of you already know me and some of you are reading this to get to know me. I was born a toehead to a set of interesting parents, one was a Vegas showgirl and the other a District Attorney who’s father was a member of the Syndicate mob. I grew up in Tucson Arizona, which in my youth was the “land of no toilets”, but now is a big city contender. After a teen bout with geekness and Dungeons and Dragons, I shed my skin and picked up a guitar. Boy did that change my life. The good news is I spent my early adulthood playing to thousands of people in hundreds of clubs and opened for the likes of Guns and Roses and Warrant out in Hollywood during the “HairRush” of the 80s. The bad news is, drugs kicked my ass the whole trip. It came down to fame or staying alive so I retreated back to Arizona where I eventually got clean (12 years now and please understand I am not one of those holier than thou recovered addicts. I say if you like the buzz, party on !). The way I did it was to pick a spot on the map and leave all my peer pressures behind me. That spot for some God forsaken reason was Minnesota. My friends told me as I left it was cold there, I replied “yeah just around Christmas” and the next time they heard from me was screaming “HELP” in the middle of march as the temperature dipped to -60. But Im not a quitter so I pushed on and started a few music projects and worked a management job. My next problem, was since giving up drugs, I began drinking to help take off the edge of my withdrawls. I was once again a wreck. When my son was born I made him a sobrierty promise through the nursery glass and he looked right at me and smiled. Man was that the greatest high ever. I quit drinking that day (9 years ago) and have continued to live a quiet life as a single parent in this small town built on a lake. I now have my own Jingle business that I share with my partner who I believe is the greatest singer I have ever heard. Check it out for yourself at www.jingledudes.com  . I part time in a band called the FatCats and I design and install professional home theatre systems. I have released my own solo cd and am beginning to work on my new one. I am rarely serious about anything. I also love to collect KISS memorabilia and have a huge collection of their stuff..I love comedy and people who love to laugh at silly things..I more often than not start every sentence with “dude”. Im not gonna say that I love camping, biking, or curling up with a good book cause frankly I would rather be sitting in front of a Lost episode writing a song on my acoustic. I am currently working on opening my own music store, that’s where I get Uncle Jam from. That is the name I have picked for it and I am working on my business plan to get it rolling. So that’s a little bit about myself and hopefully its enough to keep you all coming by.
