BIO

Let’s see what can I say about myself….I’m originally from the East Coast, moved around with my family from New York, to New Jersey, back to New York, to Pennsylvania and then trekked on over to California and have been here ever since. I currently live in the San Francisco/Bay Area with my husband that I’ve been with for 5 years now (he’s a great guy to have to put up with someone like me!)

I’ve been a lover and dedicated follower of the metal scene since I was 8 years old (don’t ask me how old I am now or I’ll have to hurt you), it started with classics Led Zeppelin (I’m not going to argue whether Zeppelin was metal or not, back then they were considered hard rock/heavy metal), Black Sabbath, Van Halen, AC/DC then progressed to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio and more. My older brother would make tapes for so I could listen to the music I loved constantly (hey, I was 8 and my allowance sucked, ok?) I did delve a little in the glam scene when I was older, I’m ashamed to admit, but then I discovered bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Motörhead, and it was on like Donkey Kong.  

I’ve been following the scene ever since; some of my favorite bands are Lacuna Coil, 1349, Marduk, Mayhem,  Nightwish, Slayer, Obituary, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Dimmu Borgir, My Ruin, Otep, Dark Funeral, Celtic Frost, Arch Enemy and the list goes on and on. 

I’ve always loved to write and have done so as a hobby since I was a little kid, I feel honored to write for FourteenG and look forward to the opportunity to grow in this field!
