I am Aras Peter Ulenas, born on June 1, 1971 on Long Island, in New York. I grew up there, then went to college at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN. You know, Knute Rockne, The Four Horsemen, The Gipper, Ara Parseghian, Lou Holtz... After ND, I studied music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Spent some time in the corporate world, hated it, then quit for good back in 1996. Since then it's been all about the music. I'm also into writing fiction... that's my second love, but creating music holds a much dearer place in my heart.
