Bio
Things you need to know to say that you know me well:
• I take pictures of people and things;
• I think that I am the oldest member of the SIGT staff;
• I played in a band that had a paying gig at CBGBs opening for a “Tupelo Chain Sex.” We made $60.00 and Hilly Kristal was very kind to me. My band then took our friends out for cheese fries at the Bendix Diner on Rt. 17 in New Jersey;
• I once rolled my guitar amplifier into Joey Ramone;
• My wife puts up with my crap and still encourages me;
• My kids are cool;
• I have many college and graduate degrees;
• My influences are: Abraham Lincoln, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Frank, James Agee, Walker Evans, Robert Fripp, Marcel Duchamp, John Coltrane, Joe Strummer, Thelonious Monk, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Thomas Wolfe, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Pete Seeger, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and E. William Tucker (of the band Regressive Aid);
• I am cripplingly anti-social but I would never let on to that when with people;
• I have worked in education / special education for almost 25 years;
• I am waiting to have greatness thrust upon me.
