About Me

Welcome to my tribute page to the world's greatest band...Def Leppard! Thanks for visiting! I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico...this is home. I have three wonderful kids and 4 gorgeous grandkids as of July 2, 2007 #4 was born! (yeah it freaks me out, am I that old?) I'm half Italian, half Hispanic (I know, scary combination), but I think that's what gives me character! I'm easy going and love to be around people with a positive outlook on life...it's too short to spend around negativity. I am a Def Leppard fanatic and have been since I was 18...if you know me, you know that! Anything else? just ask! Thanks Terri for doing all the bio tags on the guys! You Rock!

Steve joined Def Leppard after being introduced to the band by Pete Willis. One of Steve's nicknames was "The Riffmaster", which he earned after coming up with the most original guitar riffs in Def Leppard's history (and the music history in general), over and over again. During the "ADRENALIZE" sessions, when on January 8, 1991, Steve died alone in his London home at the age of 30- after taking a fatal combination of prescription drugs and alcohol, Steve's battle with alcohol came to an end. We miss you Steve!

I'd like to meet:


I've met my main man, Joe Elliott (see my big hair photos of when I met him in the 80's)as well as the rest of Def Leppard in '83 during the Pyromania tour...and that was so great! I'd also love to meet Rob Thomas, Ed Rowland, Mick Jager, Janet Jackson...
