About Me

You are now marked on my profile visitor map!
I am the proud father to Cole, Emma and Andrew and founder of Coleâ€™s Cure, Thrash Against Cancer and now SOUNDS AGAINST CANCER!
After being married for a year we had our first child, Cole in October of 2002 and in December of 2002, Cole was diagnosed with AML Leukemia and hospitalized. We were told that he was not expected to live through the first 2 rounds of chemo therapy and that we should plan for his funeral. After 60 plus times under antiseptics, 35 plus surgeries, 7 months of pain killers, 3 weeks of methadone, 9 rounds of chemo therapy, 3 strokes, 2 comas, 14 months in the hospital and a partridge in a pear tree, Cole passed away on July 28th, 2004 at the age of 21 months. He is my Nabahe Yazhe or â€œlittle warriorâ€ in Navajo Indian and will forever be my son.
A year later on July 9th 2005 San Francisco was invaded by 15 of Californiaâ€™s best thrash metal with Testament headlining for the worlds first Thrash Against Cancer benefit concert. With over 800 in attendance, it was quite the 1st toward a good chance of another benefit show in the Bay Area in 2006!
