About
me....well first off, my full name is Bradley Dean Jackson, and
I am 21 years old.
Some of my interests include music (more specifically the guitar),
flying, and to a smaller degree, computers.
Music - As for my interest in music, I have been playing guitar
since I was 12 years old, and by far it is my first and greatest
love. Over the years, I have had the honor to play with truly stellar
players and I am never happier than when I am playing in a great
band. I'm not sure how far I will go as a musician, but the goal
I am reaching for, is to become a session player or at least a well
respected player. To that end, it will depend on how much I am willing
to give to the guitar that will determine how far I go with it.
Wish me luck :)
Flying - Well last summer, I became a private pilot, and during
my Christmas break from college, I got the multi-engine add-on to
that rating. This summer, I am spending a great deal of my time
(and all of my money), at the airport working on my instrument rating.
I really enjoy flying, and this is what I anticipate doing as a
career. To me, this seems like one of the most fun jobs that a person
could ever have - save playing music. Like I said, music is my first
love, but I have to honest with myself. While music would be a great
way to earn a living, only the exceptionally talented are able to
succeed in music much less endure for any length of time. That's
why I have chosen flying as a "fall back" career. By saying
all of that, I'm not trying to imply that I don't love flying -
I love it very much. I'm just trying to plan my future so that whatever
I choose to do, I will be happy. Kind of a "best of both worlds"
thing. :)
Computers - Aside from working in technical support, you are now
seeing the extent to which I use computers. I have been doing web
design on and off for a few years, and have always enjoyed it, but
it has always seemed that it would become laborious if I had to
do it as a career.
