About Me

CHECK OUT WWW.FREEWEBS.COM/SHUTDOWN_RADIOCheck out our myspace account at www.myspace.com/shutdownradioSHUTDOWN RADIO was a project that I formed with Mike Felts on Vocals,Nick Wheeler on Bass and Kyle Mayes on Drums.We had alot of fun while it lasted but it didnt last long enough.We were well on our way before being side tracked like many other bands.I still play guitar(along with drums,piano,bass and banjo) I play a rare Jackson Roswell Flying V and a Ovation Tangent electric/acoustic guitarI also was a journalist for awhile,writing for such websites like Daytonbands.com and themusiclair.com covering many local talents in and around the Dayton,Ohio area. I also worked with Modernrock.com,where I had the pleasure of covering such acts like POWERMAN 5000,SEVENDUST and the Late Great Mr JOHNNY CASH before his passing.

My Interests

I like to watch Movies.Lots and Lots of them :)I read and collect comic books.I have about 3000 at this time.I just started reading comics a few years ago and after I did I really started to get into more and more Artwork. I have a small portfolio of some of the comic book and tattoo flash art I have beeen creating.I have two tattoos but would love to have many,many more!! I have alot of ideas but never the time or cash flow to get these works of art.I am a fan of many Tattoo Artist. Local hero The REV Chad Wells has made a big impact.Old favorite Glen Friensen has done lots of work around Dayton. Lil Brian Brenner from the New Breed shop is amazing. I would love to have Michigan native Tom Renshaw hook me up with a black and grey portrait.Miami Ink star KAT VON D is not only SUPER HOT she is a great artist. Hopefully Mr Wells and I will have an appointment soon enough :)

I'd like to meet:

Jimi Hendrix,Johnny Cash,Kurt Cobain and spiderman :) What? Three our dead and one is fiction?? Damn it!!
