About Me



Create Your Own Countdown

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I was born in England in 1984, and have lived in the states since 1993. I spent the past 5 years or so playing in various local metal bands, culminating in a 2 year stint with a semi-professional, minor touring death metal act. In March 2007, I will be going to Boot Camp to become a Sailor in the United States Navy. I will be a Master-at-Arms (hopefully), which is basically a cop for the Navy, with a bit more anti-terrorism thrown in.

My Interests

Spent quite a bit of my youth on the football pitch (soccer for you bloody yanks!), until a good friend of mine introduced me to extreme metal. At which point I concentrated on music, and the bass guitar. Now, I don't play as much as I did (or should) but I still have an unbridled passion for music (metal, of course!!!).
