Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.

My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
