About Me

Check out my band's pages: www.myspace.com/borgopass and www.myspace.com/12eyes . also check out the official BORGO PASS website at www.borgopass.com . And www.12-eyes.com is now up & running. I'm jamming with both bands regularly. I play drums for both. BORGO PASS has been a part of my family for many years. I can't live without these guys! 12 EYES has been jamming for about a year now. I scream vocals along with Lynch on guitar & joe on bass in this sludge/ stoner / doom project. I live for playing shows. the rehearsals, recording, breaking sticks, spending $$, losing sleep, etc is all worth the 45 minutes i get to spend onstage. Other than playing shows, i try to get out to as many gigs as possible. i'm always out there supporting other bands. there's some great music out there if you're willing to look around.

My Interests

MUSIC, beer, drums, bass, high volume, driving my 4runner, hanging out in manhatten, biking, canoeing, playing shows, legs, workin' on the house, socializing, seeing shows critiquing bands, beer, camping, jamming, bullshitting, eating, traveling to Vegas, Nola, Tx, etc...
