After 10+ years of toiling beneath the Worm Gear Moniker, I honestly wouldn't know what to do with myself if this medium of our expression wasn't a part of my life. When the print side of the mag was still functioning, I was the main biped in charge of keeping in touch with the labels to obtain ads (financial), coordinate interviews and also to design/layout the pages. My tastes center around the black and death metal worlds but isn't limited to them. Hardcore, punk, industrial, some goth and other esoteric styles also appeal to me.

Outside of the webzine, I run Worm Gear Distribution, co-run Bindrune Recordings and have contributed to other publications such as Metal Maniacs and Digital Metal as a freelance writer. I also play guitar and sing for Charnel Valley (used to be a part of Prosthesis and Slaunchwise).

My duties with Worm Gear include, review writing, webmaster general, interviews, and various bits of grunt work. My primary focus lies with Noise, Dark Ambient, Death Industrial, Power Electronics, Crusty Punk, Hardcore, Noise Rock, and various types of Underground Metal .

Outside of Worm Gear I record under the name Gruntsplatter, and have done collaboritive projects that include Blunt Force Trauma, Triage, Circadian, Umbra etc. In addition I also operate Crionic Mind Records and Distribution, and co-operate Bindrune Recordings, as well as doing graphic design under the banner of Crionic Media.
