Who am I and where have I been??

I’ve done a lot of things and been to many places in my few short years on this earth. I am a recovering Deadhead and huge music fan with an affinity for jam bands, most jazz, funk, soul, bluegrass, Indian sitar ragas and a whole lot more. I love to ski fast (I even had the license plate SKIFAST) and I love to fish…Salmon, Trout, Steelhead.

I have been blessed with many traveling experiences. Born and raised in Seattle, I have worked as an Alaskan fishing guide and in ski areas throughout the west. I always return to Seattle though and can’t imagine living anywhere else but the great Pacific Northwest. I lived in Israel for three years and still speak a bit of Hebrew. In addition to Israel, I have traveled to the following countries: Canada, England, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Yugoslavia, Greece and Cyprus.

What I dig doing in my spare time…

• Lake and river fishing for salmon, trout, steelhead and (the occasional bass or carp…)

• Schussing down mountainsides at breakneck speeds…

• Catching live music events if I’m not producing them…
