i have the rare fortune of being able to make my career out of my life's passion, which is music/entertainment. i'm a veteran in the industry and have credits that include song writing, arranging, engineering, producing and performing. i will continue to pursue my passions until i die.

i can listen to many forms of music. that said however, while i respect artists from ALL genres, i have to say i stay away from country, house and hip-hop as much as possible as they just aren't my thing. classical, opera, rock, metal, jazz, blues, etc...bring it all on though!

outside of music, i'll try almost anything once and if i enjoy it or it's a worthy challenge, i'll try it again and again. i enjoy watching the competitive nature of most sports but don't make it a living to try to keep up with it all. skydiving was a hoot! on the other hand, simple things are sometimes the most fulfilling. put a good book of any kind in my hands and i may disappear for a few days.

well, this is kind of a loaded question! meeting someone online?...for me, chemistry and attraction are impossible to judge without being able to feel someone's presence in person so in this case, a simple meeting for coffee, lunch or a casual dinner is probably a must for me.

that said, while i've learned to adapt to modern times a little when necessary, i tend to prefer the traditional ways of a first date. without detailing the events of the evening, i would prefer picking her up so she doesn't have to drive and so we can talk in the car. i like to open doors for a woman when possible as that's what she deserves...and...

well, i don't want to spoil anything by laying it all out here in print so the rest i'll leave for the real experience. :)
