Likes:
"I love life and other lovers of the same; music as art and lifestyle; altering peoples perception of normality and reality."

"'On him does death lie heavily, who but too well known to all, dies to himself, unknown' and
'What was that?'- Captain of the Titanic."
Inspirations:
"Stacy McCleaf and Bryan Campbell for their guidance, support and their love for art of all mediums; also Maynard James Keenan as a writer/performer, and Steve Haworth for increased knowledge and experimentation in the field of body modification."
Being Part of the Chrome Gardens Family:
"Chrome Gardens is my home for a good time to come. I am comfortable here working with friends who share my interests and visions. This has never seemed like 'work' to me. I count myself blessed to be able to do what I love to support myself and do it in the company of such an awesome team."
