I am an artist, writer, drummer, teacher, learner, entrepreneur, father and husband and am seemingly cloaked in virtual opaqueness. I can be at times a very complicated person. I use sarcastic humor as a deflector to ward off my own true self to anybody that may want to get close to me. I am a dreamer. I am stubborn. I am both selfish and selfless. I always fight for the underdog no matter the situation. I draw odd pictures that I want to be known for, but rarely show people. I impulsively and intuitively create artwork that makes some people wonder why I even bother to waste my time. I write countless poetry books and screenplays that are never seen. I have a knack for confusing people but also bringing them together. I am the founder of a non-profit organization community-based drum festival because there was a simply a need to create one. I hide from myself to protect myself from myself. I am shy. I am funny. I am outgoing. I am an artist.
