Born July 26, 1972 in Pasadena Texas.  During summers did a lot of ball playing - making brother and friends come along with me to the park.  Then we would play the regular kid stuff/role playing games like cowboys and indians, army or star wars.

At 17 years old, got a drum set - learned how to play a little and joined up in a rock band.  After HS, played in that band for a year (our biggest gig was opening for big band called Lillian Axe), then played about a year in my dads country and western band.

At 23, married and started a career in the chemical process business (plant work).  Had 2 boys along the way.

Now at whatever age, still working in the plant, teaching, coaching and playing baseball and have been married over 10 years now.
