ello, my name is Tom R. Valdez, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I am a musician: guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and I also like to program synthesizers. I'm co-founder of a pop/rock band called Man Made Souls. We play all-original music with influences such as Dave Matthews, Sting, U2 and Peter Gabriel. I've been playing guitar for twenty-seven years.

     I'm also a software developer and computer systems analyst. I've been writing computer software for twelve years. Before that I designed computer hardware for about five years. I have a bachelor's degree in Physics.
