For a more extensive look, check out my website under Attachments and Contraptions
For this project, I have been using my Schecters - the Stilletto Elite 4 & 5, California Custom 5 (RIP), and my Omen 6. A Fender Standard Strat, a Squire Esprit, Marshall Amplifiers, Fender Bass Amplification, the Beringer Bass V-Amp, and the recording program Cakewalk 9.
A tremendous thank you goes out to Tom Brown of Pensive Fear and Scarifide Records. Without him, I would not have been able to accomplish what I have up to this point. You can find a link to his Myspace profile in my top friends list. Thanks again, "bretheren", you've helped me acquire alot of dreams already.
Geddy Lee once said that he is a bass player first, a singer second , and then a keyboard player. I look at myself in the same aspect. I am a bass player first, a jester second, and song writer third, a guitar player fourth, and then a singer.
Another good friend of mine, Bobby Lee, once said (Reguarding Musicians) "Fear them not, they are only people." When it comes to my abilities at playing, my whole world changed after he told that me. It has helped me evolve into what I have become, instead of wanting to be like someone else. Thanks, brother.
Finally, here are a couple of links that follow me around constantly.

Influences:

It would take me forever to list my main influences, but for those of you who know me (and know me well) know that I listen to a diverse array of music. Let's put it this way: Rush, Slipknot, Insane Clown Posse, and Green Day are probably my favorite bands. Put that into a blender, and what do you get? Uh-huh, that's what I thought. On the home front however, I would like to thank Dan Myers II, Chris Myers and Tom Urbain for challenging me over the past couple of years and helping me grow as a musician.

I would also like to thank everyone in every band that I have ever played in, and all of the bands that have let me sit in and jam. You all know who you are...thank you.

In addition to that, a special thanks goes out to anyone who has offered me any types of advice, tips, and tricks for making the process easier. There are too many people to name in this list - but a few are Rick Wertz, Johhny Stevens, Tom Brown, Eric Wertz, Chris Myers, Mike Sawko and many more!

Last but not least, my wife, Lisa, for her unconditional support and all of the above mentioned qualities. Thanks love, amin mela lle.

I've probably forgot a ton of people, so (insert name here)...thank you!
