What caused and led up to your involvement with hardcore?: One of my close friends in 8th grade would always wear, "My Friends Look Out for Me Like Family" H2O shirts. I knew he was into the kind of music I was interested in, so, since this was about the time when Napster was new and the cool thing to use (yeah, when EVERYONE had a 56K dial up modem).... I went home and downloaded "One Life, One Chance" by H2O. Fell in love. Never been the same since.

In one word, how would you describe your feelings towards hardcore in general?: Awesome?

How long you've been playing/been in a band?: I've been playing guitar for a little bit longer than MTTW has been a band (so a little more than 3 years). Been playing in MTTW since it started.

Other bands you've been in: None.

What do you like most about being in a band?: Meeting new people from everywhere.

Stages or basements?:Water towers.

Favorite show(s) you've been to, either playing, attending, or both: Suicide file reunion at CBGB's in the summer of 2004 (or was it 2005?) was amazing, Gorilla Biscuits reunion in 2006 was fun, the show we played last January with H2O, Madball recently at the church, and This is Hardcore 2007 was a blast.

Other than playing in a band, what occupies your time?: Right now? Since it's not the summer.... school work. Work. Trying to find new things to do and new places to explore.

Favorite movies: Ferris Bueller, Top Gun, Billy Madison, Mallrats, Clerks, Freddy Got Fingered, Back to the Future, A Goofy Movie, Never Been Kissed.

What do you like on your pizza?: Usually plain. But I enjoy a variety of veggies riccotta cheese on there, too. I love pizza.

If you could have only one superpower, what would it be and why: Well, my immediate 1st choice is being able to read minds.... but I don't know if that would end up really hurting me in the end.... so I'd be invisible.
