Where do I start? I’m what you call a busy guy. I used to write for a website called Creature-Corner until we all jumped ship and started up Dread Central which is the news section of The Horror Channel. So I am a journalist of sorts for both DC & THC. I cover all things horror from screenings to interviews, set visits etc. If it is horror I’m there. I also write a feature article for THC called “Horror’s Hallowed Grounds” which is being developed into a TV show for the channel that will be hosted by yours truly.

In 2003 I was one of three principals that put on the Halloween Returns to Haddonfield 25^th Anniversary Convention in Pasadena CA. From that we have been working ever since on the Halloween 25 Years of Terror DVD that will be released by Anchor Bay by October 2005.

I am a drummer and currently play in the band The Heathens and used to play in the band malfunction (yes that is where our silly nicknames come from.)

I am founder & co-owner of a mask and prop replica company called Silver Shampain Novelties. I am also a screenwriter and have various film projects in the works. Bottom line is horror is my business and business is good!!!

Well, let’s see I was born and raised in Orange County ,CA. Costa Mesa to be exact. I’ve traveled around the world, and I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather live more than OC. If for nothing else, the weather. C’mon, it never freakin’ rains around here. I can leave the sunroof open on my VW bus, and cruise around any time of the year.

I‘m a guitarist/songwriter first and foremost, and I tend to do whatever kind of work I need to, to continue being that guy. I’ve been an auto mechanic, carpenter, tour bus driver, own my own screen printing/ merch business, and I’ve teched for many bands over the years to pay the bills, from (hed)pe, and Clutch, to Fear Factory, and Rob Zombie, there’ve been quite a few others in there too. It’s fun every now and then. I’ve also been a hired guitarist for a couple bands, which is always more fun than teching. I Played guitar and keyboard for Cypress Hill for awhile on the Skull and Bones tours, you know, all that "Rock Superstar" stuff, and then with OPM for a couple months, and I played in malfunction, Drown (for a minute). I have to say I’m much happier now though…back to playing my own songs, in my own bands. I play guitar for SiX and The Heathens, and I'm a co-owner of 1605 Records anyway that’s the basic stuff on me.

I'm a fairly uninteresting guy living in New Hampshire. By day, I cut paper, fold paper, perforate paper and other shit involving paper. I work in a print shop, you see. Not the most glamorous position for a being of my intensity, but I used to be a web designer for four years until emerging technology industries in cheaper labor markets deep sixed my position and there isn't a whole lot of work for web designers unless you want to move to Bombay. I'm all set with that. This portion of New Hampshire is a dump as it is. The last thing I need to worry about is getting dysentery from a glass of water.

I've always loved working with computers and art. I can hardly draw my own hand by tracing it on a sheet of paper, but I have dreams about Photoshop. Because of this codependence, I've managed to fetch a freelance gig here and there doing various web and graphic design gigs. I've done several CD designs and layouts for several local punk bands and so on. You're impressed, I can tell.

But who wants to hear about my working life? I live in it. You'd think I was tired of talking about it!

Since the age of seven I'd surrounded myself with all these horrific images. My mother worried about my sanity at a very young age. I discovered that the TV stations way up in the thirties and fifties showed more movies than the channels down in the single digits. Not to mention the movies that they showed frequently featured curse words and a shocking amount of violence for television. So it didn't take long for me to fall head over heels in love with UHF television and it's Blackbelt Theaters, Creature Double Features and Force Fives. By age 8 I was introduced to Godzilla and Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. But at age 13, everything changed with a friday night sleepover/triple feature of Evil Dead 2, Dawn of the Dead and Suspiria. Since then I've come to consider myself a student of cinematic carnage. Domestic or foreign, I can't get enough horror and exploitation.

So the marriage of graphics and horror is the best thing I could do for myself.
