Welder/Fabricator with close to 40 yrs experience. Grew up surfing the central Gulf Coast of FL. Been riding dirt bike since I was about 10 and graduated to sportbikes in my early 20's. Ever since my best friend introduced me to Rush back in about 1977 have been a huge fan of their music.

I grew up in a Catholic family but started hanging out with "the wrong crowd" in my early teens and that led to some wild times up until I was almost 40. Lol.. Surfers, motorcyclists and musicians. Lol... I have calmed down quite a bit and became very active in my local church in FL until I got married and moved to NW Arkansas. Now I am very active in two churches here. One I got to every Sunday and the other hosts a Celebrate Recovery meeting on Friday nights.

Been playing around with the Bass for a little over 12 yrs. Started off like gangbusters with a guy that got new started playing in a side project he put together. After that broke up I have been very sporaticly playing until a few months ago. I had been running sound but put my name in the rotation for bass guitar so been playing somewhat regular for a few months now.

Want to know anything else feel free to ask!
