About Me

I grew up in Southern Louisiana, began playing drums at the age of 15, started playing guitar 6 months later, and it's been a wonderful life ever since. I was actually playing for punk bands for a good while as the drummer. One such band, we assumed the name "the Don King Coconut" for a concert and the MC misheard us and introduced us as "Don King and the Coconuts." I was called a coconut for some time after that, but it was better than what they called me when I played for the STD's.
