big music person. nearly everything i do involes music. i played bass for my band augment for about 4 years and now im the vocalist. i gave up on bass for the band not cuz i dnt like playing it, i just have lots of bottled up shit and i have hundrerds of pages of meangful lyrical peices. im always singing/screaming and its the way to keep me sane. so i went to look for another band to do vox for and my guitarist was like try out for augment. so i did and everyone loved my voice and asked me if i wanted to be the permanent front man. i didnt think twice. it just feels right. its always every kids dream to be the singer of a band. just either ur not cut out for it or u dnt have the voice. im 6 foot 250 pounds and was told i sound like freddy of madball and the singer of dead to fall so i gues i can say i am. i dnt see myself as being great in anyway, i just see myself as a kid whos been thu alot and just like most frontmen, have alot of shit to say and vocalist is the only way. when im at practice or on stage, i get realy into it when im signing cuz i write shit that means stuff to me. i dnt rhyme words if the rhyming word has no meaning. everything i saw is raw and real and i feel it when i sing it. i talk about just everything and i dnt give a fuck if u think its too depressing, too explicit, to wordy, whatever. its my blade, its my nuse, its my wall to punch. when i sing, its my alternative to everything bad i used to do or could do. so yea. i also do backyard wrestling sundays with my guitarist andrew and my two friends nick and dj and their cuzzin vin. we just started going hardcore style now that im in it using thumbtacks, lighttubves, barbedwire, ect. its fun. my chanrater guys name is rage. hes exactly like me. hes serious but then starts laughing randomly then abruptly stops. weird but cool, yea thats like it. i just started playin guiutar like 2 months ago. yea.

I cant even do a presentation infront of a class, yet I can go on
stage with a cut off shirt flipping out infront of a crowd of 800 and feel right at home. Feildy of Korn for insperation to play slap
bass and not be put down for playing slap bass for a Heavy Metal band. Ryan of Mudvayne for insperation to play with
fingers and forbid using a pick. Also the creativity. Unearth, Killswitch Engage, Rob Zombie, Damage Plan, Kittie, Archon,
Dead by Dawn, POD, Chimaria, and Bleeding Through for some catchy tricks and riffs that inspired me to learn to stuff and
be more creative on stage. And of course Corey Taylor for my vocal insperation.
My Wife Dana, Nick Gregry, DJ, Augment, Anytime I need something, my bros got my back and I appreciate that more than anything on this god foresaken earth, and
they know I'll back them up anytime they need it too. And they know if they fuck with me, i wont hesistate to fuck back, so its all good. mad luv.
HEAVY METAL and HARDCORE for keeping me stable. There not a person but if they were, Ill call them Stacy and Christy and
marry them both. By the way, Stacy is the name of my Heavy Metal 4 String Bass, and Christy is the name of my Hardcore 5String bass.
Just so you know. But music, for me is the biggest part of my life. My daily life revolves around music and If it wasnt for amazing
bands who can turn emotion into riffs, this world would suck!....wait it already does, o well.
