History: I was first introduced to metal when I was about 8 years old.
My neighbor at the time tried to sell me a bunch of Iron Maiden and Motley
Crue tapes. I declined his offer and then that was it until I was about 11. I
originally wanted to play drums but I decided that guitar was a better route.
I began playing at 12 and soon found myself getting into speed metal and death
metal. My first real band, Ascension, was back in High school. After that band
fizzled out I decided to pursue my other two passions in life, classical
guitar, and guitar building. This is where I have been until now.
