John's Story
Life
20 years in 4000 characters or less. I can do that. For the first few years after PHS I stuck close, living in Palmer, then Springfield. If names like Peer Presure, Something Different, or August Moon mean anything to you then you probably saw me play somewhere in MA, VT, RI, or NH between 85 and 89. For Alt-metal music fans, the guitarist in Something Different was a kid named Mike Mushok, who went on to form the band Staind. Yes, really... THAT Staind.
October of 89 found me in San Francisco - and yes, I was in the middle of the big earthquake!
Headed south down to San Diego in 90, playing all over SoCal in bands with names like Molly's Fighting Kittens and Pieces of Lisa.
Somehow I found myself in the computer industry, and in Jan 2001 I moved (again) - this time to Austin, TX, to work for Microsoft.
Next stop? Who know...Expand for more
s!
When not working I tend to find myself with my wife (we were married on Feb 14, 2007) Tammy on our Harleys or scuba diving somewhere (in the past 5 years I've been to Australia, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Belize twice, Honduras, Panama, Turks & Caicos, Hawaii, St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Gorda, and several spots in Mexico like Cabo San Lucas, Cozumel, and Cancun), and underwater photography has replaced drumming as my main time-killer of choice. When we're not scuba diving, we're skiing in Lake Tahoe or exploring ancient ruins... our honeymoon took us to Italy, Greece, and Turkey, and we're currently building a waterfront villa on an island off the coast of Belize.
