Ok, where do I begin: I am a full time professional musician and part time photographer. I spent 26 years as a drummer/percussionist with the United States Air Force serving in the 590th Air Force Band in New Jersey for two years, and 24 years with the United States Air Force Band in Washington, DC. I attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Western Connecticut State University and the University of Maryland, earning aproximately 98 credits toward a BA in Music. Currently, I am a freelance drummer/teacher/clinician in the Washington, DC metro area. My interests in politics started in high school. I was originally a Democrat, but my alliances changed after Carter became the president. I switched parties to Republican, and voted for Reagan. I consider myself to be a moderate conservative. I tend to be fairly moderate on social issues, and conservative on economic issues.
