About Me

Yeah, me...Happily married with some real sweet kids, and a house in Southwest Minneapolis. I work for a small family run company in Rogers doing software development.I blew the dust off the Fender Jaguar and AC30 March of last year (2005) to do a Kinks tribute with the guys from the Conquerors which has pretty much fueled my return into the Minneapolis rock scene after a long hiatus. I used to be in a local band called Skeleton Ed which played a bunch of shows in the late 80's and 90's. Around that same time, I also spent some time in the Spectors, and put down a couple guitar tracks on the Vandalas Mach V.I'm currently playing in the The Floorshakers & The Red Flags. Skeleton Ed just did a reunion show at the 7th St. Entry October 4th 2007 with The Spectors, The Loose Rails, & The Beatifics -- I hope no one missed out on that.And yeah people, my true claim to 15 minutes of fame...
I was that guy that got shot.
