About Me
My mother abandoned me when I was only 2 months old. So my father drove us up to Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, where I grew up. Raised by my fathers mother, I was a troubled child, not knowing that I had ADD. But my father died when I was 9 and then I found out that I had a liver disease too, at 15!, Man, I was so pissed off at God!! Orphaned AND diseased?! All my happy future dreams, like joining the Airforce, vanished overnight! So I became a rebel without a pause. I got into sex, drugs & rock'n'roll to try to ease the pain but, after 4 years, I had a bad trip on acid and became suicidal. In a desperate moment, I cryed out to God and I think He heard me. So I became a Christian at 21. Then I was very sick but God healed me. (yeah, He used doctors) I had 2 liver transplants 20 years ago. My body rejected both of them but I'm still here to tell the story. And I've been a Christian for 25 years now but it's hard for me to always follow the rules...

Interests
I love music and playing the drums, guitars, singing, beholding beautiful things and taking photos of them, dating, interesting conversations, Formula 1 racing, Ferraris and other sports cars, movies, art, languages (I like to play on words) and collecting. I have a huge collection of model cars, (Ferraris, especially) and enjoy working on them. I love taking a drive in my Mustang GT convertible on nice days and going to hear live music, and see carshows and airshows. I like to go to Lime Rock Park in CT. to watch the vintage car races. Someday, I want to drive out west, along old Route 66, and see all the sights. Maybe I'll drive all the way to the Santa Monica Pier! And perhaps I'll stay there in California and Arizona for awhile...maybe I'll even move there! I sure hate New England winters...

I believe I've had ADD all of my days. I realized it in 1998 after reading an article, in a guitar magazine, called "Jamming with ADD" (I thought it was about recording in Analog, Digital, Digital) Wow! what a revealation. So my new quest began. But there are so many ignorant, greedy, quacks up here masquerading as "professionals." Whether MD or psychiatrist, some of these guys just don't have a clue! Neither do they even care (they get paid regardless so why bother) ...nice to be here anyway.
