I started playing bass
right around when I met Anthony and Aaron in eighth grade. I had just moved here from So-Cal and Anthony was in my PE class so he talked to me there. Aaron and I became friends mostly through Taco Bell after school. After going through many started and finished bands with Aaron, each a bit more successful than the last, we knew something was still missing... Mostly a drummer. To fill the void, we started playing with Anthony last Fall and that jamming has now progressed to what I am proud to call our band. I am totally stoked about this band and its potential and I love playing music and Halo with these guys. They're the best friends I got and, well, it's cool performing with them.

My Influence
I started playing thanks to my love for Pink Floyd, and especially Black Sabbath.

Green Day really got me into punk and that type of music, so I started listening to Sum 41, Blink 182, Bad Religion, and other bands of the sort.

Then I started discorvering older stuff such as The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and Nirvana.

Since we've started playing shows with and seeing alot of other local and underground bands, I've really gotten into Public Unrest and Showbread, who've both inspired me as well.

There are a lot of other bands I like, but these are the ones who have contributed to the way I view, write, and play music.
