About Me

Originally raised in Sturgeon Bay WI, in the famed tourist driven Door County, I relocated to Milwaukee with my (now) wife about 10 years ago. I'm a student at UWM and a family man (well, married anyway). I have a love/hate relationship with people in general; they entertain me and scare me at the same time. I have a nasty habit of talking people's ears off. I enjoy great food and cook often. I also manage apartments on Milwaukee's East Side (UWM area).
I've been in various punk rock bands playing bass over the years for such bands as American Radio Police and Liquid. I am currently in the newly formed pop-punk band Tomorrows Yesterday, as well as working with American Radio Police again.
I write guitar/bass articles and reviews for www.guitar-dna.com.
I'm a fan of basses by Fender, Fodera, Modulus, Spector, Sadowsky, and Alembic. Guitars by Mosrite, Eastwood, Fender, Gibson, Ric, Gretsch, and many others. For bass amps I like Ampeg and Eden. Guitar amps; I like old Silvertones, Bad Cat, Matchless, and Soldanos (Fender, Mesa, and Marshall are nice, but not my thing). Effects by EH, Maxon, Morley, and old Tube Works
