He’s the drummer who made a name for himself playing with iconic bands like Danzig, Black Flag, D.O.A., Circle Jerks, and Social Distortion. Before he rose to fame, he spent his formative years in British Columbia, where he grew up alongside Ken “Dimwit” Montgomery. The two shared a close bond during their youth, and as it turned out, both would go on to leave a lasting mark on the punk rock scene. He, of course, carved out a solid reputation behind the kit, bringing raw energy and precision to every performance. His early life in Canada laid the foundation for what would become an influential career in music. And looking back, it’s clear that those days growing up in British Columbia were pivotal—especially since he was right there with someone like Dimwit, who’d also become a major figure in Vancouver’s vibrant music culture. He definitely came from humble beginnings, but his passion and talent helped him rise through the ranks of the punk world.
