About me:
I am the host of METALKAST!
I am a drummer in a band called Full Stack. www.fullstackrock.com
Brief History about me:
-Bands I played in from 1988 1993: Power Metal Bands Malicious Intent, Sentinel, Domain, Chaos Warband, and hard rock/rock bands Aleph-Zain, Sweet Cheater, and Jealous. -In 1989 I worked for R.I.M.s Purecussion in the factory and Artist Relations. -In 1990 I became a Representative for Abel Stix in Artist Relations and Sales. -In 1992 I took a break from drumming because I seemed to meet up with almost every moron that existed. Hey, if it could be a bad decision, I made it. -In 1993 I followed my dream since I was 14 years old to start a drum company. -In 1995 I completed school and became a Mechanical Designer who specialized in free from, ergonomic, and conceptual design for products. -In 1997 I was forced to shut down my business due to partner problems, liquidated and paid investors back. In this same time frame I joined a long time friends (Dave Conroy) band for about six months, the year following I humiliated myself by auditioning for another awesome local band, playing very poorly after not playing since 1992. -In 2000 I got the itch to play seriously again, started a band that fell apart due to chemicals and egos. But it did enough to fuel my interests in playing. -In 2004 I purchased a Neil Peart instructional video where he described that he started over from almost scratch to improve his playing. I thought I should try this and searched to play in a band ever since. In 2004 I married the woman of my dreams and she has been very supportive of me playing again. What else can you ask for, shes intelligent and beautiful too (gotta kiss a little butt here). -In the fall of 2005 I auditioned for Full Stack, got the gig and have been blessed by being able to play with not only some of the best players I have played with, but you cant ask for a better bunch of guys. Last year I broadened my career to Industrial Technical Designer/Graphic Designer which includes video production, animation, and photo work, plus a ton of boring things too. Over the years I have also been involved with product development for some other drum companies as well as a product tester from time to time. I plan to re-start my drum business within the next few years. Keep the dream alive, right! Well thats me in a nutshell (Hey, how did I get in this bloody nutshell?) over the last 18 years. I always have my hands involved with different things, so there should be more later. If there is nothing else to be said my life experiences are that of Thomas Edisons: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Perseverance will pay off and youre never too old to rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have an AWESOME weekend! Saint Michael said;"Behold,we,the Archangels bring you guidance from Heaven. Beloved,today we wish to speak to you about the 'Beast' who is destroying families throughout the world. The 'Beast' has destroyed millions upon millions of families whose faith was weak. This destruction continues to happen simply because the family does not make time to pray together. Faith is sustained by prayer and faith is strengthened by prayer. The'Beast' is well aware of who these families are and his attacks on them are notorious until he destroys whatever little faith they had. Beloved,a family without faith is a family destined to fall into the poisonous trap of the 'Beast'. Know,beloved,that the 'Beast' roams throughout the world pouring his venom into unbelieving and weak hearts. He has many slaves whom he uses to do his evil work. His slaves are those unbelieving family members who refuse to believe in God. Keep vigil as a family and let prayer and love be your weapons to defend yourselves against the attacks of the 'Beast'. Your prayers and love for one another will deflect his evil attacks. The 'Beast' can not live where prayer and God's love is the focus of the family. He flees quickly from their homes. We,the Archangels,strongly encourage families to renew their prayers so that God will bless you in a mighty way. Beloved,live Heaven on earth,glorifying the Holy Name of God,and the joy of Heaven will reign in your hearts." May the Lord give you his peace...
