Primary instrument? Voice, though I also enjoy lots of other stringed instruments.

Inspiration?  Jim Morrison was the first person who really made me want to sing.  I still can't believe that voice came from a man in his twenties.

Favorite instrument that you own?  I own a German parlor guitar from 1890.  It's about three fourths the size of a regular nylon-stringed guitar.  It's definitely the coolest thing I have, and I feel really fortunate to have snagged it off eBay back in 2009.

Years playing? About 20.

Favorite drink? Greyhound.

What are your hobbies besides music?  Reading (especially classics), finance, cars.

Primary instrument? Guitar. But One day I hope to learn the meat flute 

Inspiration? I get inspired by lots of things. Some songs give me goosebumps, guitarists online, movie scores, women.

Years playing? 20 years give or take.

Favorite bands? Ozzy, Van Halen, Avenged Sevenfold, Queensryche, Blues Saraceno and Jason Becker to name a few. 

Favorite drinks? 805, Sam Adams, a Manhattan or the blood of my enemies.

Hobbies besides music? Bowling, Ping Pong, Movies, Selling my body.

How long have been playing music? I've been playing stringed instruments since I was a kid but started playing bass strictly and consistently around the end of my college years. 

Favorite Band? Too many to choose! I’m consistently stuck on bands like Periphery, After The Burial, and Meshuggah. I have also been listening to My Chemical Romance and A7X almost my entire life.

Any Influences? Many. Billy Martin from good Charlotte was my role model as a kid looking at guitars. I’d say Nikki Sixx was my primary influence once I got my first bass though. And then bassists like Ryan Martinie and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood inspired me to keep pushing myself to improve.

Favorite drink? I’ll have a Jack and Coke.

Hobbies besides music? Hard to break away from my bass. But when I do, I enjoy drawing, video games, some car meets, comic books, astronomy documentaries, and paranormal research books/shows.
