PERSONAL QUESTIONS:

What bands were you in prior to Tooth & Nail?
Nimbus Obi, Sins Of The Flesh (both on drums) dozens of cover bands (bass & drums) .

Have you ever taken lessons?
I never took drum lessons (wish I had); I have had a few bass lessons though.

What was your first live appearance?
My first band (I was 13, I think) played for free for the local school for "special" kids.
They dug it, we had our first "gig". Pretty cool for a 13 year old..

What was the first instrument you had?
I used to play this P.O.S. hollow-body violin-shaped bass. It would feed back given any opportunity.
Really, just horrible. I eventually saved up some money and bought a Peavey bass and amp.

How many instruments do you play?
Bass, drums, I sing a little, I can tune & strum some basic guitar chords and find middle C on a keyboard.

What was the first concert you ever attended?
1975, I think, Styx at the fairgrounds in El Centro. It rocked! .

If you couldn't play music, what would you do?
I would probably have stayed in the Marine Corps, retired, and...who knows?

Lastly, what are your future goals for Tooth & Nail?
