I'm an archaeologist, musician, producer, artist, and now, a law student. I've been all over the world a few times. I toured in a band called Voodoo Glow Skulls for 10 years before I finished my university education. I graduated from USC with a degree in visual anthropology.

Currently, I play bass in a rock and roll band, and saxophone in a soul band. I attend Western State Fullerton University of Law. I love collecting vinyl records. I love playing and singing songs in private settings as much as I love performing on stage, but I only do the living room music for special people. I love nature and being out in it, and being inspired by it. I worked as a professional archaeologist for a time, and it was great working outside every day, getting paid to camp and hike and find cool ancient artifacts. I'm an avid snowboarder, and I often go to Mammoth.

When it comes to my legal interests, I have a strong passion for individual rights and protecting the 4th amendment from the attacks of those who would diminish our freedom. Not many realize this, but freedoms we take for granted every day, like the right to privacy, are not nearly as durable as most seem to think. There is no safeguard against those freedoms disappearing. They must be vigilantly guarded at all times.

Musically, I live for that magic time in the middle of a jam when the vibe is flowing. Those moments feel like touching the energy that connects us to the universe.

I was raised by a strong feminist mother, so I appreciate strong women. I also believe in romance and chivalry, so I know how to treat a lady.

I love to read. Some of my favorite authors are Joseph Conrad, Aldous Huxley, and Isaac Asimov. I also love film, and am somewhat of a film buff. At USC, I worked in the film archive.

I have a passion for attention to detail.

My music says a lot about my personality. You can check out my solo music @ my space.com/heliosforealios or my personal page @ my space.com/heliosjoey My rock band is Buffalo Chrome, my soul band is Your Majesty. They're both on my top friends.

The short haired photo is my most recent.

Something that would allow us to talk and get to know each other. Dinner, a picnic, a museum, an art show, a nature walk... just some ideas off the top.

I would love to go snowboarding, or play some music together.

I can come up with a great plan, or go with the flow, depending on what's right for the situation and timing. Timing is more important than most people realize.

There are great things to be said for both expensive, and inexpensive dates. I enjoy both. What's really important is attention to detail and scintillating conversation.
