"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you…"
I began my musical journey at the tender age of nine after seeing Kiss on television. In 1980 I joined my first band, colorfully called The Village Pimples, and spent the early and mid-1980s honing my vocal talents. In late 1985 I added the role of bassist to my resume. Since then I have recorded and toured with numerous bands, as vocalist, as bassist, and in some cases as both. I've been called a prolific writer, and have served as main lyricist for all of the original projects I've been involved in throughout my career.
I am currently the voice of After Therapy, whose second CD, Torn With The Teeth, will be available in January 2010.
In addition to After Therapy, I also write and record with Texas-based guitarist Alex Vanderzeeuw. We are currently working on the followup to our 2007 CD End Of My Rope.
As a devoted husband and father, I spend the majority of my free time at home with my wife, daughter, son, and two cats.
I currently use, abuse, dent up and sweat on gear from these fine people:
