About Me

I am THE JUNKMAN of KNAC.COM, what more needs to be said. Well if you must know I get paid the big bucks to either play music and interview rock stars over the world wide web, when I am not busy writing or working on my house or, of course, at a rock show. There could be worse things in life. Oh yeah, and I love to keep my chops up banging on my drums among other things. I am a collector of all kinds of stuff, hence the nick-name JUNKMAN, anyone who has been to my house "Junk-Land" can attest to that. When I have the chance, I hit the road, I have a passion for travelling, so if I dont get back to you immediately, I'm probably somewhere in transit. Patience is mandatory. I love good food, amber ales, live music, and lively people. I'm always interested in trying something new...as long as its fun to do.
