About Me

I'm Michael; I currently reside in Cleveland, OH but I have previously lived in Pittsburgh, PA and Austin, TX. I am married to an amazing woman named Jessica and that is the best part of my life. I like to have fun, but I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I enjoy spending my free time listening to music, going to shows, writing, watching movies/tv, cooking and eating hella good food, and hanging out with my amazing friends. I hope to move to CA in the near future...

I own/operate a record label called Escapist Records on which I release underground music: hardcore, punk, indie, metal. It started as a dream and it has come to fruitition and I'm quite proud. Visit the link for more info.

I am the editor in chief of Scene Point Blank. It's an online-zine; we cover a lot of different genres of music so feel free to check it out. I think you would enjoy it.
