[edit] Biography
He currently resides at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. He relocated to Southern California for college after graduating from Nampa High School and has lived back and forth between Boise and Los Angeles for the past 10 years. While living in Temecula for a short time in 1998 he met Aaron Irizary vocalist for the Metalcore band Point of Recognition. It was a combination of this event and also after witnessing a Gatsby's American Dream and Acceptance (band) show at The Paradox Theater in Seattle in 2002 while the two bands were virtually unknown that inspired him to help open several music venues in Boise.

The band experienced success among the Boise music scene and they also began to pioneer myspace setting up a page before the music section was in existence and also the internet being one of the first bands to develop an entirely flash website. Nothing Lasts Forever would later go on to share the stage with bands such as Acceptance (band), Gatsby's American Dream, Bear vs. Shark, The Bled, The Kinison, Poison The Well, The AKAs, Long Since Forgotten, The Lyndsay Diaries, Emery (band), and Number One Gun.
