About Me
I own a small, award winning advertising agency. We produce all types of advertising including television, radio, outdoor, magazine, interactive, etc., for a variety of clients. We have an in-house recording studio and video editing suite using industry standard software -- Pro Tools, Avid Media Composer, Softimage|XSI, etc.
I have been an artist since I was about nine years old when I began to draw -- mostly caricatures of muscle cars; in addition to building model cars as a hobby.
I also play guitar and drums and I enjoy recording in my studio, which was initially added for tracking voiceovers and music for television, radio and corporate video..
While I grew up as a Democrat, I found, during the Reagan administration, that my beliefs were consistent with conservative principles. Business school helped me to understand how the economic policy of lower taxes and smaller government is good for the economy -- and for ALL Americans. I have been a proud Republican ever since.

I'd like to meet:

It would be great to meet others who play instruments and have similar musical interests. I also enjoy the company of those who share my conservative Christian views.

Activities:

Riding my vintage racing bike around Stone Mountain (several times a week). Weightlifting, playing my guitars and drums...watching classic movies...and watching cable news (I'm a news junkie).

Interests:

My interests center around art, music and fitness. I grew up on the classic rock music of the 70's. I've seen many classic rock 'n roll groups in concert during their heyday... Led Zeppelin, Edgar Winter, Allman Brothers, Yes, Aerosmith, Grand Funk, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, BB King, The Who, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, etc., etc.
While I've played drums since early high school, I learned guitar a few years ago and I play my guitar(s) almost every day in my studio.
I also draw and paint, but mostly I work professionally as an Art Director as opposed to an artist. I do photo retouching and some paintings for gifts, etc.
I write marketing plans, media rationales as well as doing copywriting for ads and corporate brochures, etc. I also write a blog on the creative process.
I have served in the past as a volunteer as a technical director, cameraman and producer for a "mega-church" that has an international television ministry. I also do video editing and camera both professionally and for friends and family -- weddings, birthdays, etc. I have done several wedding videos for my nieces and nephews...and about to do one for my brother.

Favorite Music:

Mostly classic rock and blues.. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, BB King, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, etc., etc. The list goes on and on...

Favorite TV Shows:

American Idol. American Movie Classics, TV Land, Animal Planet... Hannity & Colmes, O'Reilly...

Favorite Movies:

Casablanca, The Great Escape, Run Silent, Run Deep, Smokey and the Bandit, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, Titanic any old war movie, especially those involving submarines... and any movie with Audrey Hepburn...or Steve McQueen...

Favorite Books:

That would have to be the Bible. I love to read and there are so many good books it is difficult to pick a favorite.

Favorite Quotes:

"If it weren't for Christians, I'd probably be one." -- Ghandi

Favorite Heroes:

Jesus Christ. US Servicemen, teachers, nurses. Anyone who shows humility in service to others.
