AGE: 33

DAY JOB: Construction foreman

PLAYS: Pictured with his B.C. Rich Warlock bass

MEMBER OF: Dirty Sons of Ireland, Happy Bones, L.I.E. and Shotgun Opera

FAVORITE CONCERT ATTENDED: The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, featuring Slipknot, Disturbed, DragonForce and Mastodon, Lakewood Amphitheatre, Atlanta. "Was not impressed with Disturbed, but everybody else, including Slipknot, was phenomenal."

FAVORITE MOVIE: NATURAL BORN KILLERS or Pulp Fiction

FIRST BASS: "My first bass was a Cruz ... It was a short-neck bass. I paid $65 for it at a pawnshop."

FAVORITE COMEDY: FAMILY GUY

FAVORITE GIG: "Every show has a different element that I really enjoy. ... It's hard to pinpoint a favorite."

WORST SHOW: " I hate to say this, but singers in bands -- and I'm not just pinpointing one singer in any one band -- but they'll get what we call LSD -- lead singer disorder. Basically just an inflated ego to the point of you can't even talk to them or deal with them and that has come into play on a few gigs and really ruined the show."

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Grand Buffet or Stevi B's Pizza. "I love my sushi and pizza."

PRE-SHOW RITUAL: "I've got to talk to every person that's sitting down waiting on the band to start, thank them for coming out."

THE HAIR: "I don't always put it up. There's a lot of gigs I just don't have time. It takes me probably an hour to do (the liberty spikes), two hours to do the fantail."

UPCOMING GIG: Shotgun Opera will perform Saturday at Five Pines Saloon, 2301 Gordon Highway.
