..Gojira - House of Blues chicago - Nov. 10th 2008.. ..Opeth - Bogarts - Cincinnati - Oct. 23rd 2008.. Hello everyone. I'd like to say that there is not many things I like to do more than play drums and shoot photographs. I've been playing drums since I was in seventh grade. Around 16 years. Sheesh how time flys. It's funny because now that I've been playing this long, I really lose a sense of myself when I'm not playing. I need to sit behind a kit for at least an hour a day. Just to get it out of me. Then I can deal with the rest of my day with a smile on my face. If I don't get to play, you may catch me tapping on random things......especially the steering wheel of my truck. I'm lucky enough to have met some very talented people that I jam and write with today. The two bands I play with are DELIVER US FROM EVIL and SECRETARIAT. I manage most of the affairs that go down with DELIVER US FROM EVIL, but I'm hoping to pass along what I have helped build to a management company soon so I can concentrate completely on writing and the rest of the creative process. I have also been shooting photos professionally since I was 19 years old, after I shot my first wedding. Since then, I have probably shot around 40+ weddings, and pushed my way into the music industry where I've had the pleasure to work directly with some of my favorite bands such as GOJIRA and DÃ…Ã…TH, among many others. I've found that a camera is an amazing tool that can get me into many situations I'd never experience without one. I'm easy to get along with......as long as you don't work with me and become unreliable. Mainly because I am very motivated and very outgoing. I tend to handle most things myself, so when I am put in the position to rely on someone else, I expect them to follow through with what they are supposed to do. Which means that I have learned to deal with most things myself. Which can become very straining because I have to take on large work loads to keep myself afloat. I am also an extremely loyal and honest person with my friends and family. I love my friends and family, and wouldn't be the person I am today without them, and am very thankful to know the important people in my life.I must say my main pet peeve is people that patronize me. I'm an excellent judge of character, so I can smell it on ya....just so you know. If you see me at a show, feel free to introduce yourself. I'll chat with ya if I'm not running around like a madman!!!Check out my music industry photos at www.myspace.com/strych9productions and some of my wedding and family stuff at Or just find it on my top friends!!
