About Me

Long story short.....
I'm 1/2 Irish & 1/2 German.......
and people wonder why I like beer ?!?!?!
I was born in Glens Falls, NY but was moved to MA at a young age, and this is where I grew up......
I'm a self-taught drummer, I've been playing for alittle over 18 years. I love playing a set for a huge crowd, nothing beats the rush of musical expression.
I'm currently in the process of putting together a new band with my good friend Steve, singer from the last band I was in (Hardtimes) that broke up in early November '07.
The new project will be a departure from the hardcore/metal style of Hardtimes and have more of a deathmetal/grindcore feel, which is something I've wanted to do for a while now.....can't wait to get back to my musical roots.
I always look foreward to spending time with my girl Sara and spending time with her boys Thomas and Owen.....always alot of fun !
More about me.....
Back in the mid 80's when I was a kid I couldn't get enough thrash/speed metal : Kreator, Slayer, D.R.I., Megadeth, Sacred Reich, Nuclear Assault, Voivod, Rigor Mortis, Metallica, ect.....Then in the late 80's/early 90's I heard about all this new deathmetal that was coming out : Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Atrocity(W.Germany), Malevolent Creation, Broken Hope, Deicide, Entombed, Morbid Angel, etc.....This is what influenced my musical interests and shaped my drumming style back in the day, I just wish I started playing sooner. Then from there I got my hands on anything that was in that vein of music.....the list of bands could go on and on and on.....
I listen to and appreciate ALL styles of music, but cannot get into rap or regae...just don't like it.
Changing gears alittle, I can't get enough of first generation Camaro's and old lifted Chevy Trucks with big displacement engines, loud exhaust, and beefy tires that make a ton of noise.....
I've watched, paid attention to, and have been a huge fan of Nascar racing since I was a kid (early '80's)....from the Modifieds to the Winston/Nextel Cup Serise...Dale Earnhardt was The Man ! He would have had 8 Championships and more, but Daytona 2001 changed all that..... Dale Jr. will soon win one of many Championships in the Cup Series.....
And oh yeah.....I've been playing Poker since forever....weekends with friends playing for small money is always good fun.....
and oh, yeah.....BEER.............
"mmmmm beeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr"
