Just graduated and left Chicago, currently spending some time back home with my folks in Florida doing some work for Obama and sort of decompressing while I figure out the next move.

2) Favorite band of all-time?

Dude, are you really a private investigator???? Let's hear the stories man!

[Bobby D]

Dude, are you really a private investigator???? Let's hear the stories man!

oh, i have a FEW.......but i have pretty much stopped doing cases and went back to music fulltime.

i DID NOT do "domestic cases, ie: I did not follow around cheating husbands and wives ala the TV show "Cheaters".

i focused upon fraud, insurance claims, child endangerment, missing persons, etc.

Bjorn just talked me out of going to Iraq as a "private contractor". It was 16,000 euro per month pay. I could buy a LOT of pedals with that kind of money, and I am DIRT POOR right now.

What can I say? The US military trained me well, and I have had a lot of private training in all sorts of "james bond" type stuff. And I have been a gun owner and "shooter" since I was 5 years old.

P.I. world is very interesting, but it takes over your ENTIRE life. I cannot do that job, and then do my gigs as well. So I had to say goodbye to that job, although it paid me 4 times what I make as a musician.


I still have a handful of state licenses and ID cards, and basically still have a "license to kill" as james bond would say......but i sincerely hope I never have to use it

but one thing i would say -- I LOVE MY GLOCK......and will never let go of that.
