About Me

At the end of Wednesday's post i promised everybody a biography. Well I don't know if you can really call this a biography, but here's your opportunity to get to know me better.


The Short Version
I was born and raised in Sherwood, Arkansas where i spent a lot of time at the local pool. After high school i moved to Fayetteville, home to the University of Arkansas. I spent 10 years at the university as a student, employee or both. While in Fayetteville I became exposed to the "independent music" movement, which eventually led to me moving to Texas in May 2009. I now live in Beaumont, TX where i spend my time working for Jerry Diaz & Hanna's Reef when I'm not busy working on this blog or figuring out some other way to support myself.

More Random Facts That You Could Possibly Want To Know

• Baseball is my other great love besides music. I'm pretty fanatical about the Chicago Cubs and the Arkansas Razorbacks, but I'll watch pretty much any baseball game. From the Major Leagues to T-Ball, I'll watch it. 
• My favorite bars include George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, Ar; Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, TX; Shorty's in Port Aransas, TX; and The Tropical Isle, Johnny Whites, and Lafitte's Blacksmith Shoppe in New Orleans, LA.
• I work for Jerry Diaz & Hanna's Reef as the bands "Road Manager." Basically that means i do anything but play an instrument onstage. This includes working sound, selling merchandise, marketing/pr stuff, and bar tending. 
• With few exceptions i like Dos Equis Beer, Tequila, and Rum. I very rarely touch Whiskey or Vodka.
• I've worked on or around pools most of my life. I'm hoping my "adventures" in the music business can eventually change that.
• I consider the New York Yankees to be the cause of all evil in this world.
• My favorite bands include Reckless Kelly, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Jerry Diaz & Hanna's Reef, and The Randy Rogers Band.
• I read a lot. Which tends to freak most people out for some reason.
• I'm scared to death of Snakes.
• I consider "South Of Interstate 10" to be it's own state regardless of what state your legally in.
• The French Quarter in New Orleans, LA is my favorite place in the entire world.
• I was the President of the Northwest Arkansas Parrot Head Club for over 3 years. During that time i was introduced to Trop-Rock music and dozens of incredible people who are still my friends today. 
• Because i work for a band i don't get to see very many shows, which sucks. But that's the trade off for getting to go lots of cool places. 
• As far as I'm concerned 50 is getting cold, and theirs no such thing as "To Hot."

I could probably go on forever with random facts, but that should give you a glance into my personal side. I justhope you don't think I'm crazy now. I plan on turning this post into a "About" page sometime in the next few weeks, but for now I'll leave it as is. Have a great weekend!
