About me: I was born in the shower of my parents' house in upstate New York on John Travolta's 18th birthday. Ain't it cool? I was drafted into the US Air Force on October 15, 1990 as a sniper to kill Saddam Hussein. I shot him on April 29, 1992, but it never got much press. The Iraqi people put a Hussein imposter in office and I still can't get any street cred, cuz no one believes me.
I served out the rest of my USAF time in Montgomery, Alabama and I have no idea why I am still here to this day. Too chicken-shit to move somewhere that rocks? I'm sure that's not it.
I work primarily as a computer consultant, both for myself (night & weekends) and a regular company during the day, but over the past 4 years I've gotten into concert promotion, which has been a lot of fun. I've been fortunate enough to have been able to promote some amazing bands & I hope you'll read my bulletins & come back to my page often to see what's the next big show that I have confirmed and I'm promoting. Although I'm based in Montgomery, I've booked and promoted shows at clubs and theaters in about a dozen different markets & met some good friends this way.
I like my jobs, love going out w/friends, checking out bands, etc, etc. I hardly ever sleep because I work hard and play hard and still have extra energy to burn.

Previous shows
Who I'd like to meet: Lance Armstrong, John Walsh, John McCain, Verne Troyer, Jenna Jameson, & Dave Grohl. That's it. Nobody else.
Anyone that would pay the $$$ to see a show that I'm promoting so I can grab you, pick you up and scream in your ear at the top of my lungs "Thank you! Thank you for coming to see my little rock show!"
Also, every asshole on myspace apparently makes over $250,000 / yr and only wants to meet people that keep it real, so I want to meet fake-ass poseurs like me that struggle to get by on <$250k.
I'd also like to meet a midget that will go out to bars and get drunk with me. I think the greatest night of my life was when Big Fish was being filmed in Montgomery, I took the midget out barhopping in my Corvette and got him trashed. I'm still not sure which one of us was happier. I think he was my soulmate.
