    My name is Brandon. I'm a self made chef, musician, beer brewer and father. I enjoy the finer things in life. I love the outdoors and being active. I was once very fit. I gained about 65 lbs and got up to 235lbs over time by not being active or fit. I'm now down to 188lbs after deciding I'm not going to be that lazy person that led me to weight gain. I still have another 13-15lbs to reach my goal for weight loss and then plan to bulk up to about 185lbs in muscle. Wish me luck!!

      Hard to lose weight when you're a good cook ;) What kind of music do you make? I'm a vegan cook who loves good food, good wine (and very dark beer), and music, too! I have a degree in vocal and piano performance (classical), and I teach 650 kids how to make and appreciate music every week! I'm trying to shed 20 pounds, but my main goal is just to learn how to exercise without whining about it.

      I play mostly acoustic stuff for my daughter nowadays. But prior, I played in a rock band in Dallas area. Influences from early Muse, Smashing Pumpkins and QOTSA. I've played mostly drums and guitar. I'm an avid fan of red wine and craft beer. That's awesome that you have a degree in music!! Something I wished I would have done. But was never classically trained. And you're a hero for teaching. Good luck on your weight loss!! Yeah, for me not to be sour about working out, I've just accepted it as a way of life now.
