Heavy Metal:
thrash, speed metal, classic metal and even classic rock. It's my passion.
My bands:

Body Building:
Got tired of being fat one day and decided to go to the gym. I've been a gym rat ever since.
Family, Friends, Church, Graphic Design

Movies
SPINAL TAP!
Television
Television is a waste of my time. I have better things to do with my life than to throw it away in front of the Gutterbox. However, on occasion when relaxing at home I may watch one of the many sitcoms on TV like Everybody Loves Raymond, Yes Dear, Friends, King of Queens, etc.
So-called reality shows are boring. American Idol is glorified kereoke.
I'd much rather be on a stage jamming with my band or listening to music than watching TV.
Books
The Bible!
I also enjoy reading books on theology and various biographies and autobiographies, mostly of band's and musicians that I am into. Some of my favorite biographies: KISS - Behind the Mask, Loud n Clear-The Stryper Story, Walk this Way-the Autobiography of Aerosmith, Phil Lynott - The Rocker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, White Line Fever-The Lemmy Autobiography, Married to a Rock Star by Shemane Nugent, etc.
I grew up in Trenton, NJ, USA, (Hamilton High West Class of '85), moved to Rochester, NY where I attended RIT for 4 years. After graduating, I moved to Albuquerque, NM where I now reside.
I have been singing in Ultimatum for over a decade. Ultimatum is a heavy metal band with speed metal and thrash metal influences. We currently have four CDs out and we are recording our fifth due to be released on Retroactive Records on Feb. 7th, 2007.

In 2004 I was asked to sing a reunion show with the original four members of Vengeance Rising. The show was performed and recorded under the name Once Dead. A DVD of this show was released titled "Once Dead - Return with a Vengeance". I sang with the band for over two years.
I am also a father of two great teenagers. My son is a drummer and is also a big music fan like myself. My daughter was a gymnast for USA Gymnastics for years and now is a competitive dancer. Both my kids weight training with me.

Who I'd like to meet: Angel
Punky Meadows
Aerosmith
Twisted Sister
Ace Frehley
I am interested in meeting other heavy metal fans from around the globe.
I've met so many cool people in my life. Because of my bands, I have been able to travel around the U.S. (and even to Europe) and meet many cool people and some of my music heroes as well. Working in the printing and design field, I have also been able to meet many famous artists. However, there are many others I have yet to cross paths with. While I was able to meet Ted Nugent once for a brief moment, I would love to actually get to know the man. Some of his ideas about life inspire me. Meeting Ace Frehley would be a big honor. I've been a KISS fan since I was a little kid and Ace was always my favorite. Of course, I'd also love to meet Gene, Paul or Peter as well. I'd also some day like to meet Aerosmith, Dee Snider or any of the Twisted Sister guys, Lemmy, Rob Halford, Alice Cooper...to be continued.
If I could turn back the hands of time and meet some people no longer walking this earth, I would love to meet Phil Lynott, Eric Carr, Bon Scott, Danny Joe Brown, Jimi Hendrix and a host of other people whose music has been a part of my life in some way.
