I am a graphic designer by trade, which at least means I do what my college degree says. I am a musician and artist by calling. The calling doesn't pay the bills. The trade wins. Still not giving up on the calling.
I wrote my first song on a crappy organ in my basement when I was 6. I wrote my first real pop song when I was 15. For the next six years after that, I made a feeble attempt at a hardcore rap group. I put the entire endeavor to bed once and for all when I recorded a hardcore rap album called Eat This when I was 20. It was recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder by myself using cheap guitars and a bunch of keyboards and drum machines that most people in 2010 A.D. would rightly consider toys.
In 1992, I formed Death Before Disco with a guitarist named Bill Gow and we’ve been in limbo ever since. We dragged Maribeth Clark into limbo with us in 2007. We at least managed to record almost a dozen albums (and sell that many).
I’ve also recorded a 33-song solo album in 2002 (15211 West Main St.), two EP's (Disastrophe and God's Will), and two instrumental electronic albums as The Impaler Squadron in 1995 and 2001. I have an upcoming trilogy of 16-song albums slated to be recorded and released within the next three years.
Throughout the years, I also programmed and made artwork for a handful of videogames, wrote four books which I have yet to publish, and drew two online comic strips that lasted a few years.
I live in a modest house in Evansburg State Park and have semi-frequent property disputes with the nearby groundhogs.
