CURRENTLY THE DRUMMER FOR LEADFOOT, I ALSO WAS THE DRUMMER FOR SCAPEGOAT, SPLAT, ALLIANCE AND THE ULTIMATE JUDAS PRIEST TRIBUTE BAND "PAINKILLER" OUT OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CA. I'VE ALSO PLAYED IN MANY, MANY OTHER COVER BANDS BUT ITS TOOOOO MANY TO NAME.IT ALL STARTED FOR ME WHEN I SAW BUDDY RICH ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JOHNNY CARSON. DAMN WAS THAT MAN FAST! MY BIGGEST INFLUENCES AS A TEENAGER WITHOUT DOUBT WAS SHANNON LARKIN, MITCH MITCHELL AND NEIL PEART. ANOTHER BIG INFLUENCE IN MY 20'S WAS DAVE LOMBARDO OF SLAYER. NEVER BEING SIGNED TO A LABEL, I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PLAY IN CLUBS FROM NEW JERSEY,O.C. MARYLAND, NEW YORK TO AUSTIN TEXAS, THE PHOENIX AZ. AREA TO UP AND DOWN THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, INCLUDING THE WHISKEY A GO-GO WITH ALLIANCE. I NOW HAVE SETTLED DOWN A BIT FROM THE TRAVELING SEEN MAINLY DUE TO MY 2 DARLING LITTLE KIDS,ERIC JR. AND HAILEY AND MY SWEET WOMAN ANGIE. I'M VERY GRATEFULL TO ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS KIP, BASSIST FROM SPLAT AND NOW LEADFOOT FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO STILL PLAY IN A KILLER BAND AND STILL BE A FAMILY MAN AT THE SAME TIME. BUT IF THE OPPORTUNITY EVER ARISES TO MAKE IT TO THE BIG TIME, YOU BET YOUR ASS I'M GONNA JUMP ALL OVER IT!!
