Well as I remember it... I was a young lad w/ an itch in my britches... Na, my story started when I was young (around 6) when I knew I wanted to play guitar and be a rock star... at least one came true !!!!

Not sure what came first listening to moms oldies or hearing and seeing Kiss for the first time. Anyway it was all downhill from there. Kiss was definitely my first love and obsession, all I wanted to be was Gene, running around the house sticking my tongue out in every mirror I could get in front of. I played Kiss all the time on my record player... soon after that I started asking for a guitar; finally around 14 they bought me my first electric 6 string. Well after a few lessons and some friends teaching me some stuff I knew I’d never be a guitar player !!!

So where to go... the bass like my god Gene... hey less strings gotta be easier and it was... I was a natural ( or so I thought ) like they say I played till my fingers bled, practicing to every song I could find. After a while of doing that and a couple of sad excuses for bands i ran into Jay Carr (which I knew from school) at a mutual friend of ours John, and we started talking and it just so happened his band (Citadel) needed a bass player. So we started jamming and the rest is a drunken mess !!!

No, seriously, we all became fast friends because we were all into the same shit and we were kind of the local outcast anyway, but we relished in it !!!!

Soon through friends and many a killer parties we accumulated a decent following and playing with such bands as F or F, Vicious Circle, Brutality, Altar and Rictus Grin and wanting to play with Metallica, Anthrax and Overkill, but that never happened.... yet !!!!

But as far as I go in this I left to pursue different things / music and wound up getting married and having 2 great kids, never really playing with anyone till we got back together, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Jay, Bob and Will are my brothers and to get to play for all our loyal friends and fans is an honor and a privilege and I hope we can be entertaining for years to come !!!!!!
