I was born in may of 1986 in Fort Worth Texas. My life has always revolved around music in some way. Before I knew anything about music when I was just a toddler my grandparents owned a rock club in Fort Worth and both of my parents worked there at the time. My mom would bring me to work and there were always bands playing. Growing up my dad always listened to heavy metal stuff like Metallica, AC/DC and stuff like that and when I was in middle school my mom started getting me CDs of heavier bands and then through high school I met friends who got me into hardcore, metalcore and death metal. Around 11th grade I got my first drum set and knew I wanted to be a musician and play in a band. I worked relentlessly to get good enough to play in a band and when I was a senior in high school it finally happened. From there I met new people and just kept falling down the rabbit hole of extreme music. In 2007 I formed End Times we started out as a hardcore band influenced by bands like integrity and trial turned into a more heavy metal influenced death metal band. In 2012 I formed Vulgar Display with some friends from Dallas and ended up touring the country 3 or so times before the band dismantled in 2016. From there I met Michael when I was worked at a local comic and game store and decided to start a band, we got together with friends and named the band Frozen Soul, it ended up not working out so with Michael I reignited End Times. While recording our newest record we decided to get Frozen Soul back together, and spent the next 2 years hard at work to get where I am today. Aside from music, video games and movies are a huge part of my life. Some of my biggest musical influences are, Lars and James of Metallica, Max and Igor of Cavalera Conspiracy and ex Sepultura, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Karl Willets of Bolt Thrower, Dwid Hellion of Integrity, John and Donald Tardy of Obituary, John Bonham of Led Zepplin, and Roger Beaujard of Mortician.
