One fine day in December of '94, I saw the Weezer video for 'Buddy Holly'. I immediately fell in love with the melody, harms, and hooks. By the time the solo ended, I knew it was my destiny to rock. No less than 2 weeks later, I was in a band. I stayed in the band till college. I honestly never wanted to go to college, but my parents told me they would pay for my car if I went. So sure enough, 4 years later I had my car paid off and a degree in music. I used that car to move to Oklahoma City to go to a recording school. I graduated there in '04 and hooked up with Hinder shortly after. Three shows in we had a record deal. Dig It!
