ABOUT ME

Music is my life as well as movies,books and travelling.I own and run a small independent record label. I have an open mind and see people as people. I stay up late. I enjoy the little things. I don't watch TV(except for The Office). I find humor in odd situations.

PHILOSOPHY

to listen with an open mind, care for my fellow human being. Respect for all living things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

London 2005. The best 5 weeks i've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone useless information about music and possibly to cook. I'd like to learn how to gain citizenship in the UK. I'd like to know more about Buddhism and the American Revolution. I'd love to know what it was like living in the 60's, or in New York in 1977.

Countries I’ve Visited
