About Me

OK...I am 36..I live in Santa Clara, Ca., which is a hop, skip and a jump from San Jose. I was born and raised here and it would definately be hard to leave...especially with all my family here. I'm about 5-10, brown hair and eyes. I'm part Hispanic, German and Irish. Which makes for an interesting mix. On my spare time, I used to co-produce a local music cable access television show called R2cents. The show was based out of San Jose and has been on the air for over 9 years. Supposedly the show is number 1 on that station. The shows primary focus is on Local and National music. Each show is based on live shoots and interviews. Over that span, we have got to meet and interview bands from all genre's. From Bad Company to Rob Zombie. Since my hiatus, my partner has taken over operations and has launched a new show called Bay Area Backstage. It is the same type of premise, but will be opening up more opportunities for newer markets. The show is on (8) leased access stations throughout the South Bay area and boasts a total possible viewership of over 800,000 households. Check out their site at Bay Area Backstage Television Another passion of mine is fiddling with the Drums, Guitar and Bass. Sometimes I dabble with a little bit of writing, but its been very basic as of late. My first and only true love are the Drums. I have been playing them, since I was a lad. I stopped for quite sometime, but Ive been playing a little here and there lately. If there are any axe men out there, hit me up. I play Bass/Drums, My Cousin just plays Drums. I have another person who can hold his own playing rythym. As you can see...Most of my influences are at the bottom of the page. OH yeah !! I also luv heckling my favorite DJ's (Sean and Ally) at Live 105 during my lunch hour....Check out The REWIND AT NOON!! The best of the 70's, 80's and 90's.....All request!

Hardcore punks No Use for a Name formed in Sunnydale, CA, in 1987, originally comprising singer/guitarist Tony Sly, guitarist Chris Dodge, bassist Steve Papoutsis, and drummer Rory Koff. Making their recorded debut later that year with "Turn It Around" -- their contribution to a double 7" released by Maximum Rock'n'Roll magazine -- NUFAN next resurfaced in 1989 with the single "Let 'Em Out," followed a year later by their full-length debut Incognito. After 1991's Don't Miss the Train, the group signed with Fat Wreck Chords for 1993's The Daily Grind; lineup changes regularly plagued No Use for a Name, and by the middle of the decade only Sly and Koff remained from the original roster. After 1994's Leche Con Carne, the band kept a relatively low profile before resurfacing three years later with Making Friends, recorded with new guitarist Chris Shiflett and bassist Matt Riddle. Shortly after completing 1999's More Betterness!, Shiflett exited NUFAN to join Foo Fighters; he was replaced by former Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Dave Nassie. The NRA Years followed in 2000, and the following tour was promoted with a live album a few months later. The band stepped back into the studio at the end of 2001 and reappeared the next year with Hard Rock Bottom. Keep Them Confused followed in 2005.
