BIO:
            I have been drawing since I can remember. I decided early on that I would be an "Artist" and after doodling my way through high school I came to FL. to attend Art Institute. After two years of schooling I quickly proceeded to ignore my new found degree and instead, spent a good chunk of time playing music. I eventually found my home in a metal outfit by the name of GONEMAD. Singing, screaming, and tearing up stages locally and on 14 "tours" up and down the eastern half of America...we had a good run. With the arrival of my late twenties (and my wife Raquel) the raw energy and dissatisfaction that had fueled my lyrics and my desire to spit venom in a metal band, dissipated. I began to replace the negativity with focus...

All things creative...became my new world. Keeping multiple projects cookin' at once: whether, music, painting, illustrating, digital art, fx make-up or just plain 'ole brainstorming...I found myself a nice niche to sit in. Amongst these projects were a host of musical outlets: Shoulder Devil, Taste Bud, and presently SPEAKING VOLUMES. I write songs for myself and others continuously. My artistic side has brought me the pleasure of working for many good people doing commissioned artwork, murals, faux finishing, graphics and props. I am also proud to be a part of Fright Nights at the S. Fl Fairgrounds where I have done, horror make-up, graphics, set design, and my fair share of getting into character. I am presently embarking on a new trip to transfer my next set of images from the brain to the canvas, and I am looking forward to the challenge. All in all...one hell of a FUN life...with more good to come. My intent is to stay focused and to NEVER take my creative gifts for granted. I am blessed to have these talents, a beautiful devoted wife, a few great friends and a loving, supportive family. Peace.
