I'm a 32 years old. I've been playing guitar for more years than the average pit monkey has been alive. As a day job, I'm an attorney for the U.S. federal government.
Besides guitar and music, I dabble in 3D & indoor archery, digital and 35mm film photography, riding and maintaining my motorcycle, writing fiction, and playing chess.
In June 2010, I became the daddy of a beautiful boy. He brings a kind of joy and wonder to my life that nothing else could possibly begin to touch.
If I haven't had some meaningful interaction with you, I probably won't friend you. Don't take it personally; it doesn't mean I love you (in that bland Christian sense) any less.
