I am a rock 'n' roller in Dueling Pianos and I enjoy traveling! I go back and forth between LA and Arizona frequently, but also other parts of the Southwest. I am a huge nature lover. The canyons and their majesty is a big inspiration; there's just something about the openness and stark beauty of the Southwest that's in my blood.
I am a pretty normal guy, although I am an intense reader and thinker and enjoy many a pointless debate about...(insert topic here). Want to have a spirited discussion on the meaning of life and/or the all-time cheesiest 80's song? I'm your guy.

Music...on a rainy day, give me ambient classical piano, such as Michael Aaron Harrison or David Nanz, or beautiful voices like Loreena McKennit...Sunny day or driving...give me Fall Out boy, Green Day, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, White Stripes, the naked and famous, I'll even take some Lady Gaga.
