I spent three years in Boston for college, but it didn't work out for me. Now, I'm back home trying to make a living.

I don't regret living in Boston. I had an amazing time there. However, since the cost of living was enormous, I couldn't possibly live there within my means, so I came back home.

I'm a musician, and I still play from time to time.

I'm a certified emergency medical technician, and I'm currently trying to get a job with an ambulance company.

I was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, but I decided to quit. Personally, I thought the school was hindering my talents because of all the classes that I had to take as a formality to go into the programs I wanted. I play the tuba and the electric bass. I am also an amateur filmmaker looking for material. I can't write screenplays, though. My brain works too fast for my hands, so I can't really get anything on paper. (For the record, that problem actually got me classified as learning-disabled in elementary school) If you have a story that you want to see on screen, I'd be happy to collaborate. I'm very much a visual person.

Music-wise, my influences come from the classic rock and progressive rock genres. Anything that requires active listening to enjoy is something that interests me.

For my film scores, I want them to be contemporary sounding, yet have some classical aspects. To make them sound more modern, I like to use synthesizers along with acoustic instruments where applicable.

Filmmaking-wise, I definitely enjoy something that can really catch the viewer's eye. When I finally start making films (who knows when), I'd like them to be influenced by the films of Terry Gilliam and Stanley Kubrick due to their surreal look, or have the slapstick violence of Peter Jackson's early works (especially Dead Alive).

Writing music, playing music, computers, various electronics.

People used to notice my hair, but now they notice that my hair is gone. I got tired of it, so I chopped it off and donated it to Locks of Love in honor of a friend of mine who died of cancer. I still show people my driver's license in case they don't believe how long my hair used to be.

(a) the Harry Potter series, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy. However, the main book I'm reading right now is "Emergency Care and Transportation for the Sick and Injured (9th Edition)", the universal textbook for EMTs in the United States. (b) Jaws, The Hunt For Red October, Apollo 13, This Is Spinal Tap, Independence Day, Animal House. (c) Anything classic rock, from late '60s to early '90s, or recent material from bands of that time period (Especially Rush. Lots and lots of Rush). (d) Whatever is edible and tastes good.

Food, music, video games, Internet, sex, computers.

My future, but who doesn't?

Usually bored out of my mind and looking for something to do.

I think power ballads are extremely romantic. I really do.

if you like to discuss music, film, or emergency medicine (nerdy, I know). Or if you want to for the hell of it.

Or, if you know what film this quote is from: "I KICK ASS FOR THE LORD!!!"

Or, if you want your clothes cut off with trauma shears.
