About Me

I am the founder of the Reptilian Empire. See Reptilian Records to learn what that means. Book publisher, record producer, store owner, collector of music, books, movies, various dead things, curiosities, and a serious collector of art, especially the art of HR Giger. The rumours about me are probably true, but they don't even scratch the surface. I'm an open book, yet very few will ever truly know me. I am an unstoppable juggernaut.
I want your skull (and perhaps your ass, heart, and "soul").

I've been called a cad, a flirt, a rake at the gates of hell, a rogue, a scoundrel, charismatic, a hopeless romantic, the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and a gentleman. All this and more. Find out for yourself. Oh yeah, I'm also very humble. I am very, very proud of just how amazingly humble I am.

"You want to see life through the eyes of someone standing still... Your life, a living death, is the life I live to kill." - SPBT
I am a Reverend in the Church of Satan. If you want to know what that means, see Church of Satan

I'd like to meet:


Extrordinary individuals. Seekers. Writers. Artists. Creators. Do-ers and thinkers, I've had it with the talkers. Dwellers in the outer darkness. Those few I can learn from. Many of the people I would want to meet and have not already met are dead.

That Girl- the one with that spark- someone worthy who "gets it" and can keep up with and appreciate me- UPDATE- FOUND HER.
