I am honest. I know how to have fun. I am open-minded. I would never force my faith on anyone. I am only human. I make mistakes; I sin. Music is my passion. I love women because they have real emotions; I am not so in love with men because they are 98% jerk and 2% emotions that never surface.
I am currently working as an office admin at Shepherd of the Prairie Church. I also tour with a variety band Kid Hollywood. I record artists in my private recording studio.
Previous bands include Big Nasty Meteors (Fargo), the Dead Eagles, Erected Minds, the Strange Mojo band, Moral Hazard, Faith Alive, Project One, the Overcomers, Nightlife, Top Priority, and Two Tears.
I am looking to stretch the boundaries of my musical abilities. I'm trying to find time to complete my third solo album. I generally play out 3-4 nights a week. Always interesting, always fulfilling.
I love giving back and scalp massages. You can remain clothed -- no worries. I also love art, so talking about different aspects of painting and sculpture are fun. Technology is a very big part of my life, mainly from using a computer since I was in 2nd grade.
Music is my passion. I love everything to do with it, from the creative performing aspect to the technological side of engineering recordings and running live sound.
I also believe that I am a good listener. I can put myself in many pairs of shoes at once and be objective and unbiased.
Other things I'm good at are censored. ;)
Most people see my long hair and think that I am a hippie who does drugs. Well, I've never done any illegal narcotics. I've barely ever touched alcohol.
Lots of people give me grief for wearing jeans most of the time. Up theirs.
I think the main thing that influences me in my music and life are my relationships with people. My family, my friends, my companions. It all gives me something to play or sing about. They inspire me and breath life into my songs. They are the driving force behind my personal musical growth. I also feel that my view of life is very unique, so that helps me to see different aspects of existence and convey them through music.
My main musical influences come from the guitar and vocal harmonies of groups like Boston and Queen, as well as the technical flash of Van Halen. My favorite guitarist on the planet would have to be Steve Vai. His constant creativity inspires me in my music.
I am completely satisfied devoting my life to music. Whether that is in Minnesota, the UK, Switzerland, Germany... that is not my concern. I go where I am called to go. Doors are opened and I pray for guidance as I make the decision to walk through them or pass them by.
