Lifer musician/engineer/songwriter. Currently play in Dr. Acula and BORE. Jack of all trades- best with guitar and bass. California Sober- don't drink or use hard drugs. Looking for consistent touring, studio and songwriting work. Have a fully stocked studio/home base in western Long Island. Artsy fartsy type of dude. Generally work best with people obsessed with writing good songs/chasing cool sounds/trying new things over flat out entertainers- though putting on a tight show is equally important to me. Most known for playing in Metalcore/Mathcore/Hardcore bands. Have both ample touring and studio experience. I'd also be useful in Punk, Garage Rock, Post-Hardcore, Post-Rock and straight up Rock. Good at Metal, that's where I cut my teeth and I'm happy playing it- but I'd be equally happy to branch out.
