Chief

I stand firm in my solidarity, the path I walk, I walk it with my own resolve...

About Me

My name is Ben and I'm from Midland, Texas living here in San Antonio to go to college at UTSA. It's just kind of going as of now. If / when I graduate I'm gonna be so surprised I'll probably have a stroke. My main love in life is music, everything else is riding shotgun. I write for the magazine Metal Reviews (www.metalreviews.com) and also freelance for various print mags. I'm a pretty laid back person and a bad ass day for me is a killer interview, a new cd, a concert, and a good night at poker. Goals and ambitions in life? A&R rep or publicist for a record label like Nuclear Blast, Century Media, SPV, or Roadrunner. Give me a few years and I'll be there.

My Interests

Metal, partying, Guiness, Shiner, Rugby, therapeutic work out sessions, and reading and writing.

I'd like to meet:

Ronnie Atkins, Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson, Glen Tipton, Ken Hammer, David Defeis, Jioti Pachardis, Harry Hess and Pete Lesperance, Roberto Tiranti, Claus Lessman, Bernard Weiss.

Non Musicians: Stephen King, Famke Janssen, Anthony Hopkins, Elisha Cuthbert, Manu Ginobili.
