^Thats me and my lil boy at the Omaha Zoo this summer... Yeah I know... Im a hairball. Its "dresscode" for us working drummers.
Well, now I have to discribe myself to ya??...Ok, fair enough. Im a professional artist who works mostly on promotional designs for musical groups of any style...(dont care as long as they can pay me what I charge)...But for the most part I do most of my work for metal and hardrock bands, some famous and some not, or not yet famous. I also have been a professional hardrock drummer for 24 years of my 40 years on Earth, touring for 8 straight beginning in the year 1990 and settling back into the state of Iowa and taking a short break from music to raise my first lil baby boy. Also during this span in time I was fortunate enough to witness a few of my VERY close friends from DesMoines gain huge success in Slipknot, and then StoneSour soon after... althought watching from the sideline was hard for me knowing how I wasnt with my friends due to my touring and child reering.... I am fucking proud as FUCK or Corey, Jim and Chris....(I really never knew the other remaining members)....They worked thier ASSES off and didnt cave. After all the rush of the rollercoaster turned routine for them and were a complete success... they havent ignored those of us friends who were with them in the years before.
Ok...there, thats me in a nutshell.
Also you can read an interview I was flattered to be a feature in telling my career more in detail along with samples of my albumcovers and promotional artwork for bands such as L.A.GUNS and CHEAP TRICK. Jus go to the following link below.

~So now ya seen me at home.. heres a clip of one of the songs off the cd by my band ~M!SS CRAZY~ called "SO LONG"...(including a few still promo shots of us).. GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!
Heres a somewhat ok quality live clip taken from my FIRST gig after only practicing and learning the setlist 2 days earlier... (im actually sorta impressed with how I did now seeing this-lol)
God I hate writen this shit... FINE, but Im makin it short.
I dont watch TV if at all possible. I hate anything to do with anyone trying to instill their views, opinions and most of all BELIEFS on me or anyone else.
I have a brain, Ill use it for what it does best... MAKING ITS OWN MIND UP ON WHETHER YER FULLASHIT OR NOT... In case you arent getting my point and I need to be more blunt... then Ill put it like this.... I DISPISE religion and government with confidence its the root of all thats gone wrong with humanity since EVOLUTION began and we discovered the effectiveness of LIES on others and what they will do for you when they believe you.
ALL that aside... Im a very successful illustrator and musician from Iowa.... yes, I know a certian (nameless)heavymetal band from here very well and no I wont get you anything from them.
For more on why Im such an asshole when Im forced to tell ppl I dont know all about me... then go read this interview with me about my life and the work I do and have done for famous names in heavy metal music.
