****BIOGRAPHY****
In 1982 I started up the seminal heavy metal fanzine The Headbanger, a nationally distributed zine which featured the very first profiles of then-unsigned LA bands Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Armored Saint and many others. I published 11 issues of The Headbanger from 1982 through 1985.
Over the years I was a contributing editor to several well-known music publications including; Creem, Music Connection, Hit Parader, BAM, Foundations, Loud, Metal Rendezvous, New Rave, BURRN! (Japan), Rock Hard (Germany), and Fachblatt (Germany) and publisher/editor of Shockwaves Magazine (now online at HardRadio.com) as well as associate editor for several national men’s magazines.
In the early ‘90s, I landed guitarist Marty Friedman in the multi-platinum group Megadeth and soon after I headed the west coast office of Roadrunner Records working closely with many of the labels cutting-edge artists at the time, including Sepultura, Type-O Negative, and Last Crack.
After Roadrunner, I went on to Bizarre/Straight Records (Rhino/WEA) assisting label president Herb Cohen (who co-founded the label with Frank Zappa in the ‘60s). Their roster specialized in diverse artists such as Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Captain Beefheart, Tim Buckley, Lenny Bruce, Screaming Jay Hawkins and Tom Waits. I worked both catalog and new artists for the label.
I also acquired several license deals through the years with major international companies such as: Century Media, Enigma/Restless, Roadrunner, JVC/Victor, Music For Nations, Bandai/Apollon, Jigu, Polystar, High Vaultage, Dream Circle/Polydor, and Reality/Sony.
Currently I am the VP of press and publicity for HardRadio.com, a top-rated Internet radio station where I also produce Shockwaves Magazine On-line and Shockwaves/HardRadio Podcast which features interviews with some of the greatest performers in hard rock/metal music.
