About Me

A real renaissance man. .. Addicted to Chicago. Eating, breathing, sleeping, living and dying for the love of iron for ten years ( ironandwire.com ). We're in the new 9300 sq/ft factory building. Great things are happening, come check it out.

I finally blew up my Orange OR-120 and I'm currently playing a Gibson GB440 stack (sweet!). No smoke yet... but i did blow the 15" cab, I'm a monster and I can't help myself ugh. I play a Thunderbird reissue and an Explorer(oops I smashed that too!). No Fender's if you please.
I have a lovely wife of 7 years and two beautiful girls who all love to rock as well...xo It's great to get in touch with fellow artists, musicians and friends, past and present who want to keep in touch. Also people that inspire, influence and push me to be a better person.

New friends are great too, but they're even better if we've actually met! No spam please.
