Bio
I have been questioned on how truthful my bio is. I stand on the words that are written, but I will let you decide for yourself.….
I started off with a simple life really. At an early age, my family realized that I liked music and art as I used to finger paint and bang rhythms on the family's pots. With the encouragement from my father, at the age of three I picked up the violin. By five, I had written a symphony and two sonatas. One day, while recording a classical piece in the studio, I met the people who had the studio after me, The Beatles. They were very nice and we had a lot in common in our musical tastes. They let me listen to their session and I was surprised they took my suggestion of blending a number of songs together. They released that medley on their Abbey Road album. Shortly after, I had heard a fascinating rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Bourrée in E Minor," done by Jethro Tull and thought the conversion of it to a new style of music was brilliant. A few years later, with a few tweaks in musical taste and a slight switch from violin to electric guitar, I was touring with Led Zeppelin. In fact, I am an unnamed influence of a number of songs on their fifth album "Houses of the Holy." I love music, but touring was tough and I soon felt like I needed to take a break from the music scene.
My mother was a beatnik poet and encouraged me in other artistic endeavors. I never lost my love of art and finger painting, and through connections made in Led Zeppelin tour parties, I became immersed in the art scene in the 1970s. The 70s were a tumultuous time though and artists like Andy Warhol and Jean Tinguely would constantly steal my ideas until we parted ways. Photography was interesting to me also, but misfortune followed again; I had just developed a picture I took of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but I ran out of the darkroom to use the water closet for a moment and when I returned, the negative was gone. The next month I saw it had been published on the cover of Rolling Stone by Annie Leibovitz.
Impassioned about the downfall of our society, I decided to try and do something about it, so I entered politics. I found a few politicians that seemed to have the same ideals as I did. After his Presidency, Jimmy Carter and I formed a couple of Washington Think Tanks. We were mainly focused on ideals against the conservative issues that were so popular at the time. Reaganomics was all the rage, but we knew it would hurt America in the long run. Also, Reagan's appointment of a "Drug Czar" was a good idea but they approached it all wrong. Don't even get me started with what President Bush did along those lines.
As Clinton entered office and the economy expanded, I liked what I saw going on in Silicon Valley. The World Wide Web had exciting opportunities. That is where I made my millions. After doing so, I bought a yacht and went off to sail the world with my 22 year old girlfriend Heather. We decided to escape from society for a few months, watch sunsets and look at the stars, swim with the dolphins, sleep and make love on desert islands. When we returned, the dot com bust had already happened and I found my fortune lost. Heather left me and a few recessions later, here I am recruiting for tech companies in the Bay Area and taking pictures with a Sony Cybershot.
