Metal, and mylar.....you're both in for a long night.

About Me

Family guy,drummer/longtime valley performer. Metal,Blues,Proto-punk,Prog rock, you name it...I've probably played it for you!For a good long while I've played with the best group of guys ever in Crushed. We've been almost everywhere, and done some things that few bands get to do, and we still write great songs. We're also blessed with awesome fans!!! Thanks to everyone that has supported our musical venture over the years!! Crushed can be found at www.myspace.com/crushedI decided in 2008 to get back into playing cover songs, and have been fortunate enough to join a group that will be known as "Angry Inch" !! The guys in AI have a boatload of talent, and the best line up of names in the world. Jeff (Vox) Jeff (Drums) David (Guitar1) David (Guitar2) Mark Lauer, my longtime friend and singer from Crushed, joined forces in AI on bass, and for all those who know and admire Mark as I do....well, you're in for a treat. He also breaks up the name snarl quite nicely! Check Andry Inch out at www.myspace.com/angryinchazHats off to all hard working people who find time to chase their dreams as well!

I'd like to meet:

Accountability goes a long way with me.....admitting mistakes and learning from them keeps us all going forward.
