About Me

I'm Mike... the guy you knew as a kid who always wore black rock t-shirts, played the stereo way too loud and thought that school was only interesting around lunch time.Today I still wear black rock shirts and play everything way too loud, but I'd like to think I'm a pretty good adult who appreciates what goes on around me.I play guitar for Louisville, Kentucky's EIGHT INCH ELVIS, and we do killer classic rock from Bad Co., KISS, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad and so on. I have an out of control collection of guitars (Eastwood & Dean rule my life!), amps, CDs and DVDs, but if variety is the spice of life than I'm the picture of spicy. I was just added as an Eastwood guitar artist so that's not only cool for them, but me... right?Many tattoos... many more coming. I figure the more ink on my outta shape body the less offensive I am, right?I'm the manager of the Willis Music store in Oxmoor Center in Louisville. We're a great shop and stock cool stuff by Dean, Krank, Fender, C/A, Martin, Peavey...... We also run the Louisville School of Rock which is an all-education facility where kids can go live the rock star dreams I used to have when I was jumping around my bedroom wrecking my KISS ALIVE album.3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 smokin' wife. I got it good! Now all I need is a bunch of My Space buddies and I'm complete.
