Me on the
Oregon coast in the summer of '94
This leads to the next
photo, taken at one of the Hookahville
shows at Songbird. It was my then roommate, Ferdinand T.
Marcos (aka Ferdi), that deemed me the nickname of
dub. He used to get so sick of me "dubbing down"
hookah tapes, that the name got into the hands of a few
band members and the rest was history. Although I
took a hiatus from the band during the end of the '96 and
beginning of the '97 year, I could not stay away from my
friends for too long. After putting my life back together
and retaining my sanity from the wear of the road, I have
returned home, which leads to the next picture, how I got
involved with hookah to begin with... Dave
Katz.
Dave and me
in Moab on the banks of the Colorado River.
My favorite
actor is Robin
Williams. I've seen and collected almost every piece
of work he has done. My favorite admitable enjoyment is
probably travel. I love the planet
earth and have been to almost every major
national park in the continental U.S. and have since
graduated to the more intricate nooks of the country
looking for it's inner beauty and less touristy areas. I
hope that my adventurous travels eventually extend to the
likes of the African jungle, Australia, and next on my
list, Europe. Camping and outdoor activity are the primary
means by which I travel. That, and Bed and Breakfast Inns,
my future investment and hopefully retirement plan, as it
has always been a life long dream of mine.

I was
born on February 17, 1969 in Granville, Ohio. I am
Aquarian by nature and have a younger brother, Jeff
and a younger sister, Jen. My parents, Ray and Kay, are a
few of the more wonderful people in the world. I graduated
from Granville High school and continued my education
three more years at the Ohio State University before
leaving, uncertain on my life's direction. I gained
extensive knowledge in the details of food
preparation before having my fill. I then had the
pleasurable experience of spending three and a half years
on the road with the rock and roll band, ekoostik
hookah, where I rendered my services as their drum
technician and archivist (which I still do). I soon took
on the responsibility of their merchandise department.

It was in the
fall of 1988 when I met Dave. He was playing in Local
Color at the time and a friend of one of my roommates. He
has been one of my long time and closest friends,
now almost a decade and a half. On to other subjects,
including some of my other interests and hobbies I enjoy.
Obviously I enjoy music and collecting live recordings. I
especially am fond of Jerry
Garcia and all that he has done, including my 15 year
interest with the Grateful
Dead. I have been vegetarian since 1987, but love to
eat sushi on occasion. Probably my favorite food next to
chocolate.
Me at
some hot springs outside of Bridgeport on the eastern side
of the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern California.
I am
currently involved in many computer things, one of which
is bringing the archives of ekoostik
hookah to the public's fingertips. I also enjoy scuba
diving and cruising around town in my Volkswagen.
I also enjoy watching a sport
or two on the TV. I am also extensively involved in live
taping to the point that I consider it an addiction. I
recently acquired to felines by the name of Dylan and
Hunter, named after two of the Dead's (and especially
Jerry's) lyricists - Bob Dylan and Robert Hunter. Well, I'm sure it has been a
thrill getting to know me a little. Care to e-mail
me, feel free and as always, I hope to hear from
you....
