LATE 2005 to EARLY 2006 - FINALLY
some new pictures!! I miss Hawaii and will be back there by the end of the decade
but damn gotta say I LOVE L.A.
Life is good. My friends and bands and great job have made everything fun again.
So many pictures from my bands and friends and parties and vacations, of course
more photos of Hawaii. Much like pictures of Hawaii where I can't capture the
beauty, the pictures don't even do justice on how much fun I'm having!! ALOHA!
HAWAII SEPT 04 - I went to Kauai just before heading back to the Mainland - Got some cool pix of the beaches, Waimea Canyon, my first Tat (got it the day before going to Kauai. Got a few more of a blowhole on Oahu and the hike down to it. These are the Last Hawaii pix for NOW, but more to come in 2005!
FIRST 2 MONTHS in HAWAII (June/July 04)- These are all scenic pictures as I've been exploring this amazing place! So many beautiful places to let the stress of LA life melt away and get taken off in the Trade Winds. Most of these pix are close to where I live in Windward Oahu - Don't let the scenery fool you I've been partyin and starting a band but haven't taken any photos yet so for now enjoy the beauty. If this inspires you to come here PLEASE have some respect for this ALOHA place - a lot of people come here and have no respect for it here.I think I need a baseball bat to teach some!!!
LAST LA PHOTOS (early 2004) - I finally got on the Plane to Hawaii May 30, 2004 - Here's some pix from the the last Cowboys From Hell (for now?), a couple of JAD pix, and a lot of before I moved going away partyin with my friends photos.
2003 LA BAND LIFE- Diss Function Video Shoot, Cowboys From Hell, Jackass Daniels, Friends, Jam Nights, Key Club, at home, God knows where! What an awesome insane year 2003 was - here are the pix to share some of it with you.
ME FROM 2001-2003- From just after Cut Throat in L.A. through Florida and Breach, then back to L.A. and the beginning of Jackass Daniels - these are the latest and greates... ok the latest
HAWAII (the Big Island of...) June 2003 - This Island is beyond words. Far more than the obvious beauty it has a spitiruality that is so powerful that you can't help but be brought in to it and, well I will never be the same.. The Island is very young, physically and spiritually. The weather varies drastically from one side to the other. One side being a Desert, in the middle the mountains are cold and rainy like SF, and the east side is tropical. You really have to explore this island to discover it. IT DEMANDS RESPECT! You really have to work for it but the rewards are far beyond this world...- go there and respect it, you will discover a world that is different than any other! Waipi'o Valley is the most incredible place I've ever been. The plants in the pix are sugar cane which was a huge part of the enonomy when I was growing up and visitng my family ( I have a HUGE family out there) The big island is covered with LAVA flows from Mauna Kea, an active living Volcano beware of the Kapu, say Mahalo for this beauty. Enjoy the pix - RESPECT THE ISLANDS....ALOHA!
BREACH, FT LAUDERDALE Jan - July '02- I moved to Ft. Lauderdale to start a new life. I joined this band Breach the third day I was there - we were in the recording studio the 2nd weekend I was in town - I wrote lyrics to 3 songs in 7 days! What a beautiful, tropical paradise! I made friends real quick, started playing clubs like the Factory in Ft Lauderdale and other clubs in W. Palm Beach. I got a girlfriend (Charlene) a few weeks after I moved there too. Made some cool friends too. I basically got more than I could have dreamed up, except an INCOME! Too bad it all ended and reality kicked back in - thank God my old job took me back.- so I sold what I could, put the rest in storage, hopped on a plane to LAX on July 1 and was back to work on the 2nd. Out there I did get to see the Keys, the Gulf Coast (Sanibel Island), and got to live in Paradise.
1997-2001 CUT THROAT

the Valley and Sunset Strip), Arizona, Vegas, San Diego - released 2 CD's -
I have some song samples and lyrics on my site

CUT THROAT PROMO PIX 1997 - 1999 - Pretty much all me here... Guess I thought I was cool - maybe I still am? Since I'm not trying now, does that make me cool? Bart said to Marge something about (and let me misquote) "if you have to ask then you aren't cool"
