BORN IN 1963 IN SWINDON ENGLAND. I LIVED THERE 7 YEARS. AFTER A 9 MONTH PLUS STAY IN HOLLAND AND AFTER 9 PLUS YEARS IN GERMANY I MOVED TO TEXAS WHEN I WAS 17. MOTHERFUCKING CULTURE SHOCK! BEEN HERE JUST ABOUT EVER SINCE EXCEPT FOR A 9 MONTH RESIDENCE IN ROCKVILLE MARYLAND. I'M AN ASSHOLE MISANTHROPE. SHOW ME ONE GOOD THING AND I'LL EASILY POINT OUT 100 BAD THINGS. BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING OVERLY DIRECT AND MEAN SPIRITED WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS TAKING IT EASY. :) BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I'VE BEEN TOLD HOW PERSONABLE I AM. HA!!! ONE OF MY MANY PARADOXES. IT'S MOSTLY BLACK OR WHITE WITH ME, IT'S THE GRAY AREAS I TRY TO AVOID UNLESS I'M LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE. INTERESTS ARE ART, GRINDING MY THOUGHTS TO DUST AND MUSIC....METAL MUSIC 90%. I HATE IGNORANT SHALLOW PEOPLE, TOO BAD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AND PROCREATING AT AN ALARMING RATE AND INCREASINGLY YOUNGER AGE AS THEY ALREADY INHABIT THE MAJORITY AS IT IS. SOYLENT GREEN ANYONE? LOL!!!!! :::^*#@%?::: HERITAGE: I'M HALF FRENCH (YEAH FUCK YOU TOO!) AND HALF IRISH AMERICAN TEXAS OIL FIELD TRASH (YEAH FUCK YOU AGAIN). THAT'S THE OVERLY COMPRESSED VERSION OF MY LIFE!!

.THE ULTRA-WHO GIVES A FUCK SECTION OF "ABOUT ME":
I HELPED START THE 1ST METAL BAND ,(THANKS, JOE & LEE!!) IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF SHIT, TX.(BEAUMONT, PORT ARTHUR, MID COUNTY) BACK IN 1982 WHEN I MOVED HERE WHEN I WAS 17. 2 OF MY FRIENDS PLAYED IN A SOUTHERN ROCK BAND CALLED REAPER. AFTER THEIR PRACTICE I'D SIT IN WITH THEM PLAY THE EARLY METAL COVERS. STUFF THEY HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO AS WELL AS MASIVE AMOUNT OF SHIT I HAD TURNED THEM ONTO. AFTER A WHILE REAPER DECIDED TO PLAY NOTHING BUT METAL, N.W.O.B.H.M. COVERS MOSTLY, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, TRESPASS, HOLOCAUST, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, DIO, AC/DC, ANVIL, SCORPIONS, ACCEPT, DEF LEPPARD ("WASTED", HA!)SAXON, TANK, OTHERS TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION AS WELL AS OUR ORIGINALS. DURING THE (SOUTHERN ROCK) REAPER DAYS I WAS THE ONLY ONE AROUND WHO KNEW THE LYRICS AND COULD SING SO I BECAME THE SINGER FOR REAPER. THAT'S HOW I LEARNED TO SING....DIVING OFF THE DEEP END BAND. REAPER WAS A BAND I'M PROUD OF, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS THE 1ST HEAVY METAL BAND IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE AND WE WERE GOOD, BUT ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE INSPIRED TO PLAY METAL FROM SOUTH EAST TEXAS. THE GODFATHER OF METAL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS SAYS "FUCK YEAH" TO REAL METAL BANDS FROM THIS AREA AND ANY OTHER MUSICIAN WHO WAS INSPIRED BY REAPER......WHO'D EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD COME THIS FAR, HERE,SINCE 1982?????I STILL PLAY AND SING METAL......"I'VE GOT HEAVY METAL MUSIC IN MY BLOOD, AND I'D LIKE TO GET IT TO YOU IF I COULD"......................................................
