Quote- "If I was ever on life support and I lost my hearing.... just pull the plug"

Born and raised in the northwest 'burbs of Chicago, picked up my first guitar, a total piece of junk white over black Harmony strat (my sister had left in her closet after having her fill of lessons) and played it through a battery-operated piece of junk plastic amp. Shortly after getting my first real job, I bought my first guitar (blue and white '89 Westone Spectrum) at 16 and never looked back. While I'm mostly influenced by classic, modern, and hard rock/metal ranging from Led Zeppelin to Drowning Pool, my favorite band of all time is Tool. I joined my firstband Raw Ignition as a rhythm guitarist learning from John, the same person who taught me how to play. The band stayed together a few years and disbanded after high school. I next worked the late 80's and early 90's cover scene as a lead guitarist/backing vocals in Lohman's Basement where we jokingly became "famous in Japan". I then tried out and became the lead singer/ lead guitarist of an already existing project, the Jackpot Clowns. After a few years with them touring a few local clubs/parties/churches/YMCA's/wherever we could find, formed my last original project DMV as the lead singer/rhythm guitarist and toured the local club scene for about 3 years until late 2004. So, after all that, I'm back ready as ever to get out there and rock \w/

I started out as a lead singer for a band right out of high school. The drummer for that band never showed up for practice so I would jump on the kit and sing to keep things moving. Once I hit the kit, I never looked back...I sold my wireless microphone and bought a drum kit. I am self taught and play by ear.
Raised on Mowtown, the Rolling Stones, the Doors and Led Zeppelin music has always been the back drop for my life. My favorite music is from the 80's to present, mostly from the hard rock & alternative genres. My influences include: Godsmack, Metallica, Ozzy, Testament, Slayer, Disturbed, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, LA Guns, Judas Priest, Cold, Soil, Seether, Collective Soul, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Bush, The Cult, The Doors & Candlebox.
I've been in many bands over the years but was never able to find the right mix of talent, drive and dedication from band members in my previous bands...with Roquemore I've got all that and more...We do ROCK MORE!

Originally from Wisconsin, I grew up in the Lake Geneva area. After college, I decided to try something new and formed my first cover band Brokin with my brother, Chris. After some success in our 3 year run, the band split up. I've played bass in several projects over the years, trying to find the right combination of dedicated people to create a band dedicated to having fun and rocking a crowd. I've found this perfect formula with Roquemore. Mostly influenced by the grunge movement of the early 90's and post-grunge of the mid-to-late 90's, some of my favorite bands include Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP, Creed, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, and of course Led Zeppelin, with too many others to list.
