About Me

Born july 18 1978. I started playing the drum's at the age of 14 and started one of my first band's at the age of 15. I got into metal and punk music at a young age. My dad RIP played guitar for some punk bands growing up. One was called THE STANDBYS and the other one was the BATTALION OF SAINTS.

One of the first bands i started was called THE LOCUST, i started this band with friend Robert Bray in 1995. I went on several us tour's a japan and a european tour and put out several records with THE LOCUST. I left THE LOCUST in 2001 because i needed to play more gore crushing death metal. THE LOCUST are now on epitaph records.The next band i started was called CATTLE DECAPITATION. I started this band in 1996. I took the name from a LOCUST song (cattle mutilation). For the first CATTLE DECAPITATION 7'' i player bass and did most of the vocals. I was doing 2 bands at the time. CATTLE DECAPITATION is now on metal blade records. I left the band in 2002.The next project i was in was called PARASITIC. It lasted from 2004-2005. In 2006 i started a band called PATHOLOGY. I also did the singing and the drums for the PATHOLOGY surgically hacked CD. I am also doing a band called BEING KILLED on Comatose music. I am doing the vocals and playing the bass for this band.I have a wife and 3 kid's. My hobby's are drumming, playing bass, doing vocals and recording music in my recording studio.1995 THE LOCUST/MAN IS THE BASTARD. SPLIT 10''1996 THE LOCUST/JENNY PICOLO.
