About Me

To understand who I am, mix punk disillusionment, heavy metal anger, satanic loyalty, greaser ideology, universal awareness and realistic precaution. Then throw it all out the window.
I'm the bassist, founder and occasional chokalist for Smoke Theory from Toledo, Ohio, Glass City USA. I've been playing in bands since around 1984 and will continue to do so until I am no longer capable.
I'm back to working in a factory again, oh joy.
I'm a jack of all trades. I can repair automobiles, electronics, various work around the house, weld etc..

My Interests

SMOKE THEORY!!! (http://myspace.com/smoketheory), writing songs, playing bass, guitar and drums. My lovely girlfriend. I'm also interested in guns, knives, muscle cars, vintage musical equipment, vintage music and lifestyles, motorcycles, grease, beer, hockey, pool, poker, records, cd's, cemeteries, horror movies, b-movies, road movies, underground music, satanism ....
