Thank you for checking out my record. If you have visited this site, even by accident, know that I appreciate it very much. It has always been my dream to write and perform my songs, and this was an excellent vessel to do so.
I would like to thank the following people for influencing this record in any number of ways.
First and foremost, my wife and son who have endured more than their fare share of my narcissism and struggles with depression and self esteem. You both are my muse and my reason for being and I love you both so much.
Thank you to John Maisto for teaching me how to record, mix, and master myself, on top of being one of my biggest supporters. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thank you to Matt Olson for teaching me that my music is special because it is mine and it is not here to please anyone but myself. You gave me confidence at a time I had none. I am forever grateful for that.
Thank you to Frank Iero for teaching me that no matter what anyone says or thinks of you, be un-apologetically yourself. When I was lost as a person, you showed me that our biggest asset as artists is ourselves. I will never forget the dozens of lessons I learned in the two years playing music with you.
Lastly, thank you to my parents and family for showing me that anything is possible if you have enough love, patience, and empathy in your heart.
Never give up on your dreams, never let anyone get in your way. Everyone fights, no one quits.
