About Me

Originally from South Louisiana. I bought my first P.A. at age 16. Got my first taste of large venues as a teenage stage hand with Neil Diamond's "An evening under the stars" tour and The Police's "Synchronicity" tour. Guitarist for Trashed, Irun and Hammer Witch playing all over the southeast/southwest in the 80's. Moved to the Chicago area in late '93 (just missed the Thirsty Whale experience) and brought MST Sound to the Chicago area. Provided exclusive sound services for The Majestic Star Casino for their 1998 concerts and from '99 - 2003 provided sound for the South Elgin rock club The Other Side at Sammy K's. Currently installed in Schaumburg at Chicago City Limits where I have been since Jan 2005. Staff engineer for Tantra Tour Sound which combined with the MST Sound gigs means I don't sleep from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody!

Music:

Anything real! I love to support and promote local bands whenever I can. Chicagoland has some great talent. I'm proud to have been a part of the scene for the past 10+ years and I hope I'll be around for 10 more!

Books:

The collective works of Clive Barker is still my favorite. I just read the new one, "Mr. B. Gone" in less than 6 hours. I litterally couldn't put it down.

Heroes:

Henry Rollins for making this quote! "Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs." -Henry Rollins
