I was born in Little Rock, AR - and obviously still reside here... in August of 1993 my brother-in-law gave me one of his old guitars... a Kent if anyone knows what the hell those were... it was a cheap Strat rip off but I still have it today...I have played since then and been influenced by many bands, but none more than Dream Theater and Van Halen...I got married in May to a wonderful wife and companion. She is very passionate about my music and that rules! So I am very excited about continuing work in Nongrata, and being patrolled for the rest of my mortal existence. :-)
