1. How did you originally find the Anthrax board and what are your earliest memories of posting here?
I’ve been friends with ThraxDude since High School. He’s the one who told me about the board. I’ve never been a huge poster, but I’ve made a lot of friends here. As far as early memories, I loved that Scott posted here so much. It was cool to be able to “chat” with one of my favorite metal bands.

2. You seem to be a moderator or webmaster of some kind, what exactly is it that you do?
I was recently made a moderator (due to the whole 6er fiasco). I’ve been helping run anthrax.com for a few years now, and I run the NFC messageboard. My full time job is working as the webmaster for a college bookstore.

3. Have you heard the new version of Fight 'Em with Joey? What's your take on it?
I have not yet. I’ve been avoiding the videos. I’d rather be surprised when I see them on the 16th in Milwaukee. That being said, I heard the song for the first time back in ’08 at Charlie’s place when they were recording the demos, and I LOVE this song.

4. Why doesn't Scott post here anymore? Does he even read the board?
I can’t answer either of these questions. I chat with Scott occasionally, but never talk about the boards. Sorry.

5. Can you tell us something about your personal life?
I work full time as a webmaster for the university book store in Madison WI. When I’m not doing the webmonkey stuff, I’m photographing concerts and anything else that steps in front of my lens.
I’m married to a beautiful woman, have an amazing step-daughter. My wife is pregnant and I’ll be a first time father in March.

6. What other styles of music do you enjoy besides metal?
It would be easier to just tell you what styles I don’t like. I like everything except for gangster rap and new country. Fuck off already Toby Keith. Old school country is pretty damn cool in my book.

7. What do your future plans include?
I would love to make photography my full time job eventually.

8. If you could go trading places with a famous person, who would you choose and why?
This will sound crazy, but Ashton Kutcher. Not because I like him in any way, shape, or form, but because he’s Nikon’s spokesperson. I would love to use his Nikon connections to get the camera rig of my dreams.

9. Who was 6er?
A complete douchebag, who should have been shot.
