Conceived, born, and raised in San Jose, California. Now occupying Campbell, CA. graduated from Branham High School, where I was in the marching band for all four years.

So I had to play all my sports outside of high school, in the city leagues: music,music,music. (I still play baseball for the national adult baseball league). Also mastered Asteroids in that time period. Went on to play in the San Jose State marching band for 3 years, where I watched John Elway kick our ass...every time...oh well. It was about then that I really took a serious interest in playing the drums. oh yeah , I played the trumpet in those band.

Actually, I've played the trumpet since the fifth grade. Did drum & bugle corps and everything. played in a band called "Rudy and the Cruisers." Until 1987, the only thing that I ever hit with a drumstick was the livingroom floor, the back of the bus seat, the countertop, my knee(ouch), the dashboard, the steering wheel and the rearview mirror, which makes a great crash cymbal. And then... one day... wow... a real drumset... I can do this!!!

A few Rush covers and I was on my way. 1990 came along and I met Lu Lu Beth who introduced me to Fla Chu Lance. We decided that we knew how to write beautiful music together, and if not, we'd learn. So nine years later here we still are, those guys changed their names to Mark and Gus and, well, we're going to try to pump out another record. Fun, fun, fun. Before entering, please leave all country music cd's, tapes,thoughts and sad,sad stories in the bonfire near the front entrance of the building. hank you.

peace, out...
