When love is not madness, it is not love!

About Me

I play bass guitar for the Seattle metal band 'All The Hellbound'. I've also played in Faustus, Lybrium, and Reverend (fronted by David Wayne of Metal Church) to name a few. All The Hellbound is the band formerly known as Gravl Tung. Check us out at myspace.com/allthehellbound (or just click the link in my top friends).

More about me (if you've read this far you must be interested (morbid curiosity perhaps?!)...

I have lived in Washington State for most of my life but, being a military brat, we moved alot when I was younger. I was born in Alaska and have also lived in New Jersey, Georgia, Kansas, and Colorado. I sell Coke - no, not that kind, what do I look like, Pablo freakin' Escobar?!?! :D In my free time, when I'm not practicing with my band, I am usually playing a video game or working on my cars or going to a show to see other local bands.

My Interests

Chevy's, particularly Camaros, preferably 3rd generation ('82 - '92) OK, I own a Trans Am too!, Music - usually heavy and loud, but not exclusively...

I'd like to meet:

All kinds of people and those who are down with 'All The Hellbound'!
