about

I’m in my mid-40’s, born and raised in Manila (Philippines) and although I look Caucasian, I’m very Filipino. 

I enjoy scuba diving, traveling, and basically hanging out with friends while enjoying some drinks.  Let’s not forget a good meal … I simply love to eat.  Photography is one of my hobbies that has survived through the years – although I still have a lot to learn.  I also enjoy videography and editing video.  Simply said, I enjoy camera’s.

I played drums for Overdrive in the 80’s.  You can still enjoy Overdrive’s music in the club circuit.  Since most of them have other professions, their gigs are few and far between.  So when they’re performing, catch them – their schedule is posted on their website.  The “usual suspects” are still there plus new faces.

I was a recording/mixing engineer for about 10 years.  I worked at Audio Captain Recording Studios and handled numerous top and upcoming artists.  I garnered a couple of Awit Awards for “Best Engineered Recording.”  I’ve also had experience in movie post production dubbing, foley, sound effects, etc.

I did some “front-of-house” mixing for concerts.  Music has and always be a part of my life.  Unfortunately, it has taken a back seat … although my daughter has picked it up … even learned to play the guitar.

I am fascinated about the weather … I constantly check the sites to be prepared … just in case.

I also have an interest in cooking … I don’t claim to be a good cook, but I can dazzle a few people here and there …

Scuba diving is now my current passion.  I don’t dive as much as I’d want to … only because I’m no Bill Gates …

More later …
