Real bands play on real stages! We bleed… We sweat… We scream! This is what we do… This is wha

About Me


I'm originally from Connecticut and came to North Carolina when stationed at Camp Lejeune while in the USMC. Needless to say I remained here and in 2001 moved to Raleigh. Since then Ive made some very close friends, gotten married, joined some bands as guitarist/back-up vocalist, and met MANY cool people within the local music scene who, on nearly ANY given night are always ready to throw down & have a good goddamn time!
Musically, it's still all about what I've always loved most & what has fueled my inner fire... the in-your-face heavier/harder/more aggressive styles of music. I'm into many different genres but there's no denying where my heart truly is and that's... hardcore & punk. That being said, I'm the guitarist/back-up vocalist for the ANTAGONIZERS based out of Durham, NC. Be sure to check out the latest band info, gig listings, and other info at my BAND'S SITE:

You CAN'T steal it! It CAN'T be given to you! You CAN'T take it from ANYONE who owns it... but some can earn the HONOR, RESPECT, THE PRIVILEGE, & THE TITLE. If you can overcome 13 weeks of HELL on Parris Island as I and the many before and after me... You too will be a MARINE FOR LIFE!!!

SICK OF IT ALL:
"Good Lookin’ Out"

...This one's for my friends who've got my back when I need 'em most.

Aside from playing guitar, live performance, and supporting the music scene in general, some of my other interests include.......

NEW YORK YANKEES BASEBALL!!!

Watching sports such as MLB- NY YANKEES, soccer, & UFC. Weightlifting, martial arts (Hapkido), kickboxing, playing with firearms, traveling, going to the beach, horseback riding, spending time with family and hangin’ out/partyin’ with good friends (including Jack & Coke), catching live shows/bands whenever possible, various performing arts, tattoos, piercings, and supporting single moms & female college students alike (AKA- STRIPPERS).

I'd like to meet:


YOU!...At an ANTAGONIZERS show when we make our way to your city!!!

And of course, THIS CHICK...The queen of sex, class, & ass! :)~

Music:


On the surface & in my veins is Hardcore & Punk! Really... anything with a rude attitude, relentless aggression, and a heavy ass-kickin’ groove!

I have a passion, love, & respect for nearly all kinds of music and believe it truly is a necessity. With that said… There are literally too many bands/musicians to completely list by name or genre that have always influenced me in some way or another, including inspiring my personal song writing/performing within different bands I have been a part of.

I also find it important to help indie bands from other areas AND around the world be heard. So check out who’s on my site because you might like what ya hear and they would DEFINITELY appreciate your support!

Movies:

Godfather I, II, & III, Goodfellas, Scarface, A Bronx Tale, Casino, Boss of Bosses, Untouchables, Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, Heartbreak Ridge, A Few Good Men, Once Upon A Time In America, Blow, Boondock Saints, Pulp Fiction, Swingers, Made, Tombstone, Knockaround Guys, etc... Into a little of everything i.e.- all kinds of horror flicks, sci-fi, action, comedy, suspense, drama, and...ANYTHING Janine.

Television:

I don't watch much TV. I think it's a waste of time and money so I don't even have cable. I've got about 400 DVDs so other than needing to find someone's house to watch the upcoming Soprano's Season... I've got plenty of movies.

Books:

I'm a TOTAL 'book fiend'! I've got more books than I can keep up with and still don't have enough! I'm into many different genres & I'm always into hearing from anyone with good recommendations... So bring 'em on! Here are some of my favorites:
