Big Bender, Neverset, Big Bender, Damage Plan, Drowning Pool, and my band STRANGLEWEED
I appreciate everyone that stops by to say hi. I will try and answer you as fast as I can, but sometimes it takes me a while to get back to ya.
As for who I am...
I am a Canadian that moved here in '98 to follow my dreams in the music business.
When I left Canada, I quit my only job, left my girlfriend and let my folks know I was headed state side with a duffel bag and two auditions. One in Phoneix, Arizona and one in San Jose, California. Let say I made it to Dallas with $68 dollars and a near maxed out credit card.
After a year of trying to get all the right guys together I helped form a local band called Strangleweed and spent the next 7 years beating the shit out of my drums in hope of the proverbial brass ring.
In that 7 years we played with some bands, met some amazing fans, and had one hell of a time doing what we do best.
We even got to thrash a bar on "Eye for an Eye". That reality court room show has moved on to make VH1, MTV and E! Channels "Most outrageous courtroom moments" several times. Check it out I'm sure you'll have a laugh.
I am fortunate to have toured internationally for the Armed Forces Entertainment overseas for the troops.
I can honestly say that I was apart of an amazing, timeless recording session with my brothers for an album called "Present 2 Pastime"
In 7 years we hope to have touched many a music lover and fulfilled our aspirations as much and as far as we could have for the time.
After a year hiatus from 'Da Weed in '07, I joined a great band called Turning Point from Paris, Texas. It's hard to meet real amazing people like that. We made a video, recorded an album called "Advolo" were nominated for Four Grammy's at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards for 2008 and toured Costa Rica. I truly feel blessed for all the great musicians and bands that have brought me to where I am today and hope they all achieve their dreams and never give up.
I have recently reformed Strangleweed and we currently playing as much as we can.
We recently recorded a 4 song EP and you can check out those songs on the MYSPACE.COM/STRANGLEWEED site.
I consider myself a very, very fortunate person for my life, my karma, my friends, my endorsements and especially my family.
I've always thought that if you can count your true friends on one hand your a very fortunate person. Luckily for me, I have enough to cover two...almost:)
I could drone on about all the goofy, crazy and unbelievable stuff I've done, but no one would believe me. haha
Feel free to leave me a message...I don't bite...hard...maybe your clothes when I've had a drink or two. LOL *chomp* SECURITY!
Here is our video that our friend Kevin Huckabee made for us. It's actually an anti Cocaine & Alcohol song...Enjoy.
