  <notes>AKA: JELLO. I learned to play guitar and bass by borrowing from friends and Taylor High School music department, of which I owe a great debt of gratitude. I am left handed, and taught myself to play right-handed-upside-down. I still play this way today.  In 2006 I built my own guitar to facilitate my playing style.
I began playing punk with local Kokomo bands, and wouldn't have chosen to grow up any other way.  I have always been interested in psychadelic music and hold Pink Floyd as one of my biggest influences.  I also like modern international music, especially Tanzwut and Corvus Corax from Germany.</notes>
