Dog owner, gaming, music, grilling, and motorcycle enthusiast

I've been gaming and enjoying live music since I was a kid. They keep you feeling young.

I've always had a dog, now I have two. They're part of my family.

Over the years-with many experiments, I've perfected my grilling and BBQ techniques. With work comes reward. I've earned a grill master title and my beautiful Harley Davidson.
