• Prior to forming this band, I lived in Los Angeles and worked as an A&R Rep for Cleoptara Records, one of the founding companies in the gothic, industrial, punk, glam and metal movements. Some of the projects I worked with include: 69 Eyes, Switchblade Symphony, Razed In Black, Leæther Strip, Rosetta Stone, 16 Volt, Electric Hellfire Club, Die Krupps, Genitorturers, Motorhead, Zeromancer, Firewind, Entwine, Future Sounds Of London, Miranda Sex Garden, Corpus Delicti, and many others. I produced several compilations which you can still find in stores like Hot Topic.

• I have also worked for Century Media Records and Blistering Records as a publicist, working closely on the careers of bands like Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, Shadows Fall, Sentenced, Iced Earth, and more.

• I am a music journalist with articles in print magazines such as Outburn, Propaganda, Mean, Resonance, Ill Literature, Pit and a blogger under several pseudonyms.

• I opened and operated a record store in Florida that catered to the freak culture, goths, skaters, punks, metal heads, etc.

• I worked as a booking agent for a large concert promoter in Florida and was involved in many concerts from The Cure, Depeche Mode, Ozzy, White Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Green Day and Radiohead in arenas -- down to a circuit of clubs featuring bands like Type O Negative, Hate Dept., Gravity Kills, Deicide, Front Line Assembly and more.

• When not touring the world with Icarus Witch, I'm somewhat of a hermit, keeping to myself in my cottage in the woods just south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, feeding the animals, reading, writing, composing and not sleeping.

• I'm a proud vegan and pagan.
