Metal and punk journalist and photographer. Occasional extreme metal DJ on the radio (ex-WCSB in Cleveland, Ohio USA 1984 - 1986 & 2000 - 2002, Radio LoRa in Zurich, Switzerland). Immigrant. Business owner. IT Consultant. Long line of former publications I've written for, including a brief stint as the "underground editor" for the Alternative Press (but that was a lifetime ago). Currently writing regularly for Zero Tolerance Magazine and irregularly for others.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio USA, spent my 20s and early 30s in the NYC area, and emigrated to Switzerland in 2002.
I co-run Zurich Chainsaw Massacre Records (punk & hardcore label and wholesale distro) , Blind Cat Records (non-metal, non-punk/hardcore label, defies categorization!) and Deviant Head - music, art & accessories for a head that's a bit ... deviant (all currently on hiatus)
Check out Zero Tolerance magazine , available at newstands all over the United Kingdom, the US (at certain bookstores) & Australia. The cover photo on the one below was taken by me (in 1985 or 1986, was a retro-feel issue)....
(why is it that my good pictures are never on this thing?!)
Some of my favorite photos that I've taken:
