About Me

Right now I'm currently serving in Kuwait. I'm a Veteran and a Metalhead. I served in the U.S. Army(Active Duty)from 1990-2001. During my years of serving Active Duty I was stationed in Ft. Drum,NY-served in Somalia in DEC '92-APR '93, Korea, Ft. Campbell,KY, and Germany. I'm now in the U.S. Army Reserve and served since 2001. As a Reservist I served in Iraq in JAN 2004-FEB 2005. I work with Thrashin' Alan, Slammin' Jay, and Boomhower of HardTime Radio. I love meeting band members,well known personalities,and cool people. I like getting drunk with them and if they're cool, I give them Airborne Wings. I've given Airborne Wings to Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul, Bobzilla, Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame, Robin Williams, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, Kid Rock, Lance Armstrong, Scarlett Johansson, Kinky Friedman, David Allan Coe, Rigor Mortis, Tito and Tarantula, Raven, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Enslaved, Hank Williams III, Ignitor, Zakk Wylde, Ronnie James Dio, Suffocation, Anvil, Charlie Daniels, Doro Pesch, Lizzy Borden, King Diamond, Type O Negative, Fear Factory, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Celtic Frost, Hypocrisy, Hammerfall, Oomph!, Courageous, Goddess of Desire, Vader, Sacred Steel, Hammerhawk, Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Udo Dirksnieder of Accept fame, David DeFeis of Virgin Steele, Del Castillo, Bolt Thrower, Primal Fear, Rose Tattoo, Stryper, The Kovenant, Umbra Et Imago, Lacrimosa, and many others.

My Interests

I would love to go back to Europe because I was stationed in Germany from '98-2001 and I have European friends. Meeting new people,meeting bands, reading, listening to music, and working with Thrashin' Alan, Slammin' Jay, and Boomhower.

I'd like to meet:

Through Thrashin' Alan I became friends with Dimebag Darrell. Before then I just used to run into him at different concerts. Our friendship became official in mid-November 2003 at Dimebag's house, thank you Thrashin' Alan for making it possible. I will never forget that moment. Dimebag and Vinnie Paul got me drunk 2 days before I left for Iraq in JAN 2004. It was on New Year's Eve 2004 at Vinnie Paul's house, what a great send-off. I can't believe how Dimebag, Vinnie Paul, Thrashin' Alan, and friends had sent me a care package of a cd, T-shirts, and autographed baseball caps while I was in Iraq. I used to send them Saddam Hussein money as well. I also can't believe how Dimebag Darrell wore my Airborne Wings in a couple of magazine photos. I would love the meet the remaining members of The Mentors and Venom.
