Tommy has been inspired by music since the days of grade school listening to KISS on a cassette player while walking to school and feeling like he could do anything...unstoppable.
Starting on Guitar 5th grade then on to Drums @ 16 for years and then Vocals and then Bass but his Mentor and friend Jim Elifritz (RIP) has given him the bug for Sound and Production....He still continues to learn new skills in music recording & production.
All these pictures here are vital markers in the shaping of who I have become as a person and a musician. Thankyou to all I have known along the way.
The journey continues.
I didn't understand Patriotism for many years. But I do now.
I think those who fought to create this country and died in doing so would be disgusted by the level of ignorance and lack of care for this establishment itself, if we don't fight for it? It will be lost. For ever.
I'm a pretty open person who shares things....I like to see people inspired and hope to do better things. Get Some!
This is where it began.
I could ride a mean wheelie on this bike.
I hope everyone has the view that they at ANY TIME can turn it up to eleven and go for it!!!
No matter what it may be. We should not give up on our dreams and this modest page is yet another example that dreams come true.
Maybe not as grand as your imagination can dream up...but keep going and things CAN happen for you.
Fotog on the curves of The Dragon and ready to take your pictures $$ but they looked like vultures, so I saluted them. lol
Like an Uncle to me.... not really related but a longtime family friend of my father...sold me my father's old Harley and the Dream became true. I got my 1st Harley, and it was my fathers as well.
2007 at Alice Coopers Club he had in Downtown PHX and this was the time of my life to almost play there with another band and then finally be able to play there with my own band. Hope my Mom was proud.

My Brother Norm.
1989 at a party where we always tried to make everyone laugh.
His music is amazing and I would love to hear it again myself. Norm always helped me look deeper into music and its possibilities.
My Mentor and friend, he was so ahead of the curve and thought of so many things before they happened.
It was a great friendship and glad to call him my friend and Mentor. RIP
First Drum Solo, First public show with a band on stage, with PA and mics. (1989 Major Wajors)
"Sean The Man of Steel"
He was a friend of mine before he was in Radio and he graced our CD Release show for the band Lucid Prophecy. I tried to follow in his footsteps but dropped out of Broadcasting school. RIP my friend.
This effort to maintain your proper heading and keep going to the destination you seek, is quite troublesome without keeping your eyes on the horizon and pushing forward.
Love you my friend and wish I had known your struggle.
It is my duty to keep informed of this warfare that has been unleashed on the people of this country.
Todays world is a tough read....we need to help eachother navigate the pitfalls of this brutal society.

Best time of my life.
Mom and I share a wonder of unknown places and things. RIP Mom
