What is a Renaissance Man?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, he is: n. A man who has broad intellectual interests and is accomplished in areas of both the arts and the sciences.
I am a musician, biker, hunter, teacher, computer nerd, and a few other things to boot. While my level of accomplishment in any given area is up for debate, there is no doubt that my interests are broad and varied. I believe a friend of mine put it best when he said "your hobby is reading about hobbies." To that end, I thought it prudent to launch a web site to gather my thoughts on a variety of subjects, as well as provide a landing zone for my side business: Inspired Productions.
Through the business name of Inspired Productions, I am seeking to partner with area musicians to form bands, make recordings, forge relationships, and generally promote the music scene in the ROCORI area. I'm located in Cold Spring, MN and serve the greater Central Minnesota Area. Please visit the web site for my project studio, SplitLevel Studios, at www.splitlevelstudios.com
