I am the drummer for KEMPER. Check us out. Our myspace is in my top friends.
I like horror movies, hunting ,camping, and basically any outdoor activity. I'm have a very mellow personality, and am very easy to get along with. I'm married and have three children. I have a bit of a dark sense of humor, so I tend to laugh at things most people don't.
I was born on January 22, 1973 and was raised in Walton, Kentucky. I started playing the drums in 5th grade school band. After expeiancing my first live proformance, I became an addict. Ever since then music is all that I want to do. I started getting into horror movies when I was about 5 years old, when my mother worked at the Florence Drive-in. Being a single mother she had no choice but to take me and my brother to work with her. The drive in only showed horror movies, that we watched repeatedly. The first one that stands out in my mind is Zombie Island from the famed italian director Lucio Fulci. I can remember the zombies tearing people apart. Oh what good times. If you can't tell, I am a zombie freak. I have developed a special place in my heart for the undead. After seeing the origional Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I became ingrossed in the character of Leatherface. So much so that I have named by bulldog Gunnar, after Gunnar Hanson. I have even wrote lyrics to a song about Leatherface. Later in life, I began working in a butcher shop, and learned a dying profession. Thus was the birth of "The Deadly Butcher". After experamenting with several bands I have joined up with the evil that is Kemper.
