Heavy Metal. This music is my way of life. Playing guitar in my band CRIMSON NIGHTFALL. Customizing, Building and Repairing guitars. I love spending lots of time with my wife, doing home improvement projects, playing video games, & Halloween projects.

His guitar work and the way he plays is just pure metal! Other people I would love to meet include: Dave Mustaine, Iron Maiden(Yes All of them) & Jim Carrey.

Heroes:
Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth! Also I would not want to forget one of the most inspiring guitarist of our time Chuck Shuldiner of Death/Control Denied. Even though he is no longer with us. His spirit carries on in his music and his words. His music had Integrity and Soul. When you listend to one of his songs, you could hear his heart and soul in every note and word that he wrote. He is one of my biggest influences as far as my guitar playing goes. May he forever Rest In Peace.
