The Doctor began his pro music career in the Aurora, Illinois based band Triangle, which featured The Doctor on Bass and Vocals, John Heyl on Drums and vocals, and Greg Cisko on guitar. Cisko eventually parted ways and he was replaced by Adrian Marshall Neuendorf. After Triangle, The Doctor moved on to be the Lead Vocalist in the Aurora band Prophecy which featured Mike Hetzinger on guitar, Ed Pryor on bass, and Scott Knopp on drums. Eventually Knopp and Hetzinger had their differences and Hetzinger moved to Los Angeles. The Doctor then took some time off, after which he was contacted about joining the band Blacklyst with former Triangle guitarist Neuendorf and Prophecy drummer Knopp. The band also featured Richard Wijs on vocals and Jimi Angel on guitar. The Doctor brought his backing vocal and bass ability to Blacklyst and the band started rolling. After many problems with Knopp he was finally let go as drummer and replaced with former Amulence drummer Eric Wedow. Also, Neuendorf wanted a change and created the band Intoxicated Madness with his brother and went to that project, and Bob Luman was brought on board to create the well known Blacklyst Lineup responsible for recording their classic "Liars, Killers, and Master Thieves" album. Eventually over the years, Blacklyst was offered a record deal with Iron Glory Records from Germany and they signed the deal, dropping vocalist Wijs in the process and bringing Neuendorf back along with new drummer Joe Towne. Blacklyst then built a strong following which allowed them the ability to share the stage with some of the biggest metal names ever such as WASP, Queensryche, NIkki Sixx, Tracy Guns, Impaler, and much more.

Then in 2004 The Doctor decided after years of playing with Blacklyst and feeling a need to do something different, he decided to try going solo. He then began writing and recording new music for a solo project, The Doctor Project, in which he played every instrument and did every vocal on the recordings so as to be assured that what he put down on recording is EXACTLY what he heard in his head, and the audience got a chance to hear music that was truly all his own. The Doctor also put together a live backup band who is now gearing up for a big push into the live scene after making a small appearance at the 2006 XMG Music Conference as a teaser. Now into 2007, The Doctor is preparing to finally release his music worldwide as well as begin a huge schedule of live shows. Add to that a heavy schedule as The Doctor is also the host of a syndicated Radio Show called "The Doctor's Office" and you have a non stop energy. Much more is on the horizon for The Doctor.
