Not so random facts:
1. Born in Canada
2. Live in LA

8 I am happiest when I'm too busy.

11. I have five sisters, and I'm still mostly normal.
12. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life, except maybe buying a farmhouse and turning it into a delicious restaurant, or maybe buying a ticket to Mars whenever we get that happening. I just re-read that last sentence, and the restaurant itself wouldn't be delicious, rather the food that comes from the kitchen.
Here's the video for Don Henley's "Taking You Home", which I wrote. It went to 1 on the BIllboard Charts.
Here's the video for AVION's 2004 Top 20 Billboard hit "Seven Days Without You" that I wrote and produced with Steve Bertrand.
