Short and sweet. I'm a father, a brother, and a son. I value my family and friends. I'm swinging for the fences in this life. I enjoy doing vocals for Mirror of Being. I feel close knit to this band. It's like a brotherhood. I am very passionate about music. It lives inside of me. All I have to say is never give up on your hopes and dreams. Thanks, Michael E.

For 20+ years, I have loved writing original music. I started as a guitarist and have played in "Esuna", "Whither the Tide", "Beautiful Trigger" and "The Gray" (Tucson). Being a guitarist let me express my creative side and push my song writing limits until I felt that side of me was satisfied. As I grew older, I started to embrace the physical, rythmatic side of music and switched over to drumming. I am thankful that "The Gray" allowed me to explore drumming within a band and that I found my friends in M.O.B..

Playing guitar just fell into my lap and tablature is the greatest cheatsheet in history. The three big ones for me are Metallica, Pantera and MegaDave. I never planned on joining MOB in 2016. But, Mark fed me beers and that's how happy accidents happen. Since then we all created music babies together.

I’ve been playing music for 25 years, starting with clarinet in grade school, and worked my way up to bass clarinet and eventually guitar/bass. The garage band I joined as a teenager needed a bass player, and I never looked back. Favorite bassists: Flea, Geddy Lee, Brian Marshall. My influences range from classic rock, to 90’s/2000’s rock, to modern metal. I love a catchy rhythm and strive to give people something to jam along with. Outside of music, I’m a father, golfer, bowler and enjoy whiskey and BBQ.
