About

I'm an open-minded metalhead. I like some music from every subgenre of metal, although my favorites are thrash, folk metal, and post metal. The key element I like in any music is energy. In metal, this translates to aggression and speed, in that order. Lacking speed and aggression, darkness can also make for compelling metal, such as in goth/folk/doom metal.

Outside of metal, I enjoy some punk, rock, and cinematic-classical style music usually in the form of soundtracks such as Conan The Barbarian, Sinbad (the animated one), Lord of the Rings, and Braveheart among others.

I consider myself a metal geek. I coded every aspect of Metalunderground.com from the ground up and have built and configured numerous web servers. Metalunderground.com is my creative outlet, whether writing, coding, doing design work, or reading/researching other facets of running a web site (there are a million considerations). I enjoy web development, which is also my career/day job for over 20 years, and I get to do it while listening to heavy metal each and every day.

About my avatar: this is an undead portrayal of me (courtesy of Lennart Sas) from the game Age of Wonders, of which I was the producer at Epic Games seemingly a lifetime ago.
