I have played the drums pretty much my whole life. I have traveled a good part of the world playing music and making people dance. My musical life started at age 12 when my dad gave a a snare drum for my birthday. It was 1966 and it was a great time to be alive. By 7th. grade I had a complete drum kit and was playing with some fellow students. By the time I was 15, I had joined a group of mainly Purdue students the band was called "Avalance. We played Frat gigs and high school dances. We also played some local bars and opened for a big name act called "The Strawberry Alarm Clock" A couple years later I moved to Denver, Colorado and finished high school. Right out of school I auditioned for a band that would soon become "Sweet Revenge" (see photos) and my future was starting to really look bright.....
