I am also the other half of Pearl Avenue, a house music project I do with my good buddy Simon Laffy (check us out on iTunes). ...Expand for more
I've done lots of things in my life. I've been a musician living on the road, a public defender working in London, England police stations and courts, a carpenter, a pizza cook, a live-in care worker for elderly, handicapped youth and mentally handicapped adults, a salesman, a dry-waller, a roofer, an actor in a travelling show, an account executive for mobile marketing companies, a sod layer, a bottle sorter at a bottle depot, a shipper-receiver at Sears, a minimum wage teenage punk at McDonalds, a record store clerk and, the most important job of my life, a father of two beautiful girls. I consider myself a very passionate and up-front sort of person. Loyalty to my friends is important to me. Finding the good in everyone I meet is important to me. Most of all I think it's important that you have to have a sense of humour to get through life. Laughter is the most wonderful thing in the world and everyone should strive to do it everyday.".
