Birthdate: June 11, 1981

When I was 13 years old, Cam Hanson's Dad had access to a music room at a local middle school. Every chance we could Cam and I would go and fuck around with all the musical equipment. We would grab a couple guitars and play horrible renditions of House of the Rising Sun, Louie Louie and the occasional Green Day song. I would always play single notes with my fingers on the guitar, and one day Cams Dad says "you play the guitar like a bass, why not the play the bass." So I started off not playing the drums, but playing bass guitar. Cam Hanson, Raul and I formed a band called Eternal Boner. We really had something going and we're doing some pretty ground breaking things by playing crappy punk songs and old covers, in my parents garage. At that time we did not have a drummer, so I bought a shitty drum set for 150 bucks and kept it in the garage for the occasionally friend that wanted to try and play with us. Our friend Kevin Lemon wanted to jam with us but he played the bass, not the drums. I was the only one that could sort of keep a beat and Kevin had a much bigger, louder amp so I became the drummer.
