About Me

..

Current drummer for Atlanta's own The Despised and also on occasion, the Brooklyn based hardcore band Virulent Strain .

I've played in quite a few Atlanta hardcore and punk bands over the past 20+ years including Bloody Sods, Red Gravy, Mad Phred and many others that sucked and you never heard of!

Basically, I'm into music of all sorts but I lean toward the heavy and fast variety. I like cool cars, hot bikes and fast women. Or was it hot women, cool cars and fast bikes? Damn, I can't remember anymore...but any variety works! (Let's put it this way: Of the above three items, I have a couple cool cars but I crashed my last bike...so I'm hanging onto 33%....dammit!) My best friend is my awesome dog: Kerouac. He's half Shar-pei, half Basset Hound and he's just plain cool! Check out the pictures of the little guy in his own photo album...

I've played piano for about 33 years, drums about 28 and after owning a guitar for the better part of my life I still suck at it!

I have a hatred of stupid people and well, people who just don't use their fucking heads. (Insert current political regime here...and a VAST cross-section of our society.....) If you drive slow, get out of the left lane or I will run your sorry ass over (because there's a semi behind me going 110mph that'll squash us both!) and if you bought a giant SUV but still don't know how to drive it or park the thing between the lines then shoot yourself and save me the time!

I drive fast, work entirely too much, talk too loud, play the radio louder and hit the drums really fucking hard. This is my life.

My Interests

Loud music, loud bikes, old cars, old architecture, dogs and intelligent people. Of course there don't seem to be enough intelligent people around these days so I'll be forced to hang around with dogs and listen to music loud and drive around in a non-PC oil-burning loud old car!

I'd like to meet:

George W. Bush I'd then like to ask him why the FUCK he can't say the word NUCLEAR correctly.Illiterate? Write for a free brochure.

Atlanta Part II - Take over the radio waves!

Some days you just have to hate this city!

Yeah, so my family is pretty much FROM Atlanta for the most part (granny born and raised in Grant Park...) and I have lived here most of my life so I guess I love it, but there are times when I realiz...

Ever been robbed by a Czech cop?

So, it was a normal day, other than the fact that I was in Prague driving out to the countryside to see a church filled with the bones of 40,000 people.....  So I get on the highway and a Czech p...

Hey Bands! Before you send me a friend request:

After getting requests from every cheeseball rockstar wanna-be band and hundreds of bands that I generally don't give two shits about I have modified my settings. I now do not accept requests from ban...

The girl of my dreams...

Have you ever walked past someone in a bar or at a gas station that really turns your head?  Someone that just makes you fall over the candy bar rack while you watch her walk away?  Maybe yo...

When it absolutely, positively needs to be destroyed (or lost) overnight!

Ya know, in the big overall scope of things, delivering packages isn't really that difficult if you think about it.  Not terribly that overly technical or dangerous....  But for some reason ...
