all things computers and playing instruments
I live for anything that has to do with music, I have been playing guitar and drums for 19 years and bass and piano for 8 years. I love spending quality time with my family, going on vacations. I am also very into computers and technology. I have been building computers myself since I was 19 years old. I'm also very much a dog person and I have a fur-baby named Raijin.
I'm also a new father, and that has been an exciting and life-changing experience. I am so excited to see my little girl grow.
