Lets see, I was born May 7th, 1972. I lived most of my life in Redondo Beach, CA. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. My dad passed away when I was 11 (R.I.P.). I am very close to my mother (a self professed "momma's boy". And fucking proud of it!). I'm not married (yet) nor do I have any children (yet). The 1st record that I ever owned was a KISS record. Kiss Alive! Got it when I was 5 (I got to see KISS in 1983, before they took off their make up, w/ Motley Crue opening ....m/). I heard my first "punk rock" records when I was 9. They were the Cramps "Goo Goo Muck" and Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk To Fuck" . I attended my 1st concert when I was 9. It was the Go-Go's & the Rockats @ the Hollywood Palladium in 1981. I did'nt attend college (although I wish that I had). I've never really wanted to do anything else but write, record & perform music. Music is my life. I would die without it. It is the best drug in the world. I've been playing guitar since I was 11 (but, could'nt play a lead if my life depended on it!). And, singing since I was 13 (I was even in a boys choir!).
I've been in 4 bands. Voice at 12, Mindgod, Texas Death Match & Death Valley Driver. I am currently the lungs & throat of a punk rock 'n' roll machine called... THE BOURBON SAINTS (www.myspace.com/thebourbonsaints) I am an ordained Reverend (no joke) & I have performed 6 (legal) weddings to date. I also played soccer for 8 years. I now reside in Harbor City, CA (after living in Torrance for a few years). My family & friends are the reason why blood beats through my heart & why I look forward to every breath that I am blessed with. I could not function without them. Especially my heart & soul... mi vieja, the beautiful Miss Erika. I would give my life for them. I am loyal. I am true. I am trustworthy. I am proud of my mexican heritage (NO, I am not a racist nor am I a separatist! I am just proud). I do not descriminate because of the color of someone's skin or sexual orientation. However, I do not tolerate assholes! I've been through alot in my lifetime. The pain that I have endured has made me who I am today. There is definitely alot more to me. Just too much to list here. If you are truly interested, just ask...
