About Me

I was Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in '73. Attended lots of schools while growing up, some including: Wesleyan Academy, Los Frailes & Juan Ponce De Leon(all 3 in Guaynabo)...oh and the best school in the world "Rio Piedras Heights" A.K.A. "La Escuelita", A.K.A. "Amalia Marin". I used to live "Alturas De Flamboyan" & "Lomas Verdes" in Bayamon and "Arboleda" in Guaynabo, but the highlight of my childhood was in the best 3 buildings in the world "SKY TOWERS" in Rio Piedras. I used to surf and skate religiously, but music became my life when I was 9 or 10 (when I discovered metal). I used to hang out in the mall in Puerto Rico "Plaza Las Americas" in the 80's during the Metal Years. I was a real mall rat. I Got sooo into metal & hardcore that I wanted to move to the U.S. 'cause P.R. only had shows once or twice a year. There weren't many local bands in P.R. either, just Cardinal Sin, Rebel Rose & Sekel. My grandma had move to Glen Cove NY and I took that chance and moved with her in '88. Then my mom got a job in Springfield MA shortly after that. I attended Commerce High School in Springfield and Holyoke High School. In 1990 me and some friends started the hardcore band "Outrage" and later evolved into "Impakt" and that's how I got into the music scene in 1991. Then I started hanging out in the Holyoke Mall, Riverside Park (now Six Flags New England) and Denny's (what was I thinking...I dunno). I became a music scene supporter, which got me out of hanging at the Mall, Riverside and Denny's. Hung out at clubs like Katina's, Pearl St., Infinity & Fat Cat and started Sike Records (with Scott "Ogre" Lee). Played in bands like: The Mighty Sturgeon, Montezuma's Revenge, Accidental Birth, Money Penney & Joy Kicks Darkness. Met the girl of my dreams in 1997 Trina (at Denny's), & we've been through alot together. Got exhausted by the music scene in 2001 and became a trucker. Me & Trina had a baby boy named Avery who has his own myspace page and life has been all about him...
