About Me

I play Guitar for Left In Ruins. i've been in and out of local bands since i was 12 years old but nothing ever lasted due to lack of dedication,and silly things like other band members getting involved with drugs or their girlfriends getting in the way.but i never gave up and continued to play and put together a 3 song demo of my own tunes called"Cromium".....then along came my old buddies from In Restraints,who I've known for quite some time now and they just so happened to be in need of the services of a second guitarist and i gladly obliged, we made a 5-song demo and we played some huge shows with bands including,Goatwhore,Powerman 5000,Silent Civilian,Bleed The Sky,Full Blown Chaos,Marc Rizzo(Soulfly Guitarist),and Trouble.Unfortunately In Restraints didnt go as far as any of us would have liked,and I moved on to Left In Ruins.I'm happier musically than I've ever been, and I cant think of 4 other dudes who I'd rather share my musical vision with...we're loud, we're heavy, and we're gonna kick yer fucking ass at every show we play!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm fortunate enough to have met some of my biggest influences and inspirations in music including: Zakk Wylde, Tony Iommi, Vinnie Paul, Sammy Duet, Kirk Windstein, Peter Steele and a long list of others... unfortunately I'll never get to meet Dimebag Darrell, Cliff Burton, or Chuck Schuldiner, but I'd love to hang out and share a few beers with James Hetfield, Axl Rose, Slash, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Phil Anselmo, and Pepper Keenan... I'm down to meet and hang with any Metalhead that isnt a stuck up prick, and thinks theyre better than everyone...we're all brothers and we're all here to have fun!
