Interests
I'm a musician. Music is a huge passion of mine, listening and playing (guitar - classical, rock, classic rock, hard rock, metal). If I'm not playing guitar, wrestling with the dogs, or working out, I'm probably writing, grilling out, smoking meat, or, of course working. Gotta pay them bills, including others'.
