I've been playing drums since I was 8 years old. I knew I wanted to be a musician/entertainer ever since I saw KISS on television when I was 3 years old.

The first real concert I ever attended was DeGarmo & Key and Petra in 1986 at the North Hall Auditorium in Memphis, TN. I went with my family and we had front row seats. The crowd rushed to the front of the stage duting D&K's set and I couldn't see anything. A securtiy guard pushed me to the front. I stood there with my hands folded just watching while the crowd was going crazy around me. For a 10 year old's first concert, it was very awkward.

I play a set of Pearl Master Series drums, but my old yellow set of '89 Pearl Exports still has my heart. For bass I play an Ernie Ball Music Man. I also have an Ibanez I'm very fond of. I do most of my writing on a Takamine acoustic bass. I've used it live a few times in unplugged sets as well as a couple of television appearances.

I've seen some familiar faces here and a lot of people sighting Lordchain as an influence. That is an honor beyond words. I'm here to do what I normally do... try to have fun.

My biggest influence starting off as a child was KISS. Loved the music, the album covers, live performances on TV when I had the rare chance to see them. I even loved KISS Meets the Phantom. Later on I found Petra, Bloodgood, Saint, Tourniquet, Deliverance and other Christian rock and metal bands.

I'm a founding member of Lordchain. We play Christian hard rock and metal. I play in Step Cousin, which is a Christian thrash ans technical speed metal band. I'm also in Search For Sight. We play a style of classic rock/folk rock.

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons

Smallest? Oh, I've cleared out some venues almost completely. Largest? I guess 500+. Being a weekend band we never toured stadiums.

The Neal Morse Band - The Similitude of a Dream. I've listened to it at least a hundred times from start to finish and it never gets old. I'm always hearing new dynamics that jump out at me. It's the closest thing I've ever heard to a modern day masterpiece of audio perfection.
