About Me

I play guitar and drums for The Small Pox Mountain Boys, Deliverance Machine, and The Barnfires. I used to be the drummer for 80's metal band Villain and the more recent Angel.House, Deadlites & AcidNine. I'm now morphing into a guitar player and can say that Im a professional now, as I get paid to play. I have a motorcycle now too which makes a tiny bit cooler. I love my wife and I've recently found an appreciation for country music after spending most of my life hating it with the white hot passion of a thousand burning suns.

My Interests

Drums, guitar, keyboard, writing, listening, learning, cooking, shopping for meat, making and watching movies, riding my motorcycle, Craigslist/Ebay junkie, computers, a short attention span for video games but love them.
