About Me


You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
I'm an actor and I play drums for The Citizens Band (.net), tiger mountain (tigermountain.tv) and others who ask. And yes it's true, I was the original drummer in nada surf ok? That is so 12 years ago! Ira is their man now (since '95) and he is way far suited and much more surfier * yay for Mr. Elliot * I'm now more focused and working on the screen. I'll be as straight up with you as I'm able at that moment. If there's something else that needs to be said you can expect to hear it. Honesty is not always the best policy, truth is. I met Jody Stevens once. He was barefoot driving a VW coming to see the Dimestore Darlings play in Memphis, TN (an old band of mine). I met Lemmy once. Once. Gave him a ride in a cargo van to the Grammercy Hotel, he bought me a drink in the hotel lobby while we waited for them to have his room ready and I made sure he had his bottle of Jack Daniels. And I met Gene Simmons once when I was 9. He said he liked my Kiss t-shirt and I almost threw up on his dinner. My first three concerts were Big Star 1973 in the Utica College gym (my Dad dragged me), Bruce's Born to Run Tour 1975 in Springfield, MA (my Mom and Dad dragged me. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes opened and I got a joint passed to me. I was 7), and KISS 1977 Love Gun Tour (I dragged Dad and Mom). Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0
