My hunger for music began at an early age. In high school, I was the co-host of the underground metal show the Social Mutilation Hour, on 89.5 WAHS, under the name of Neurotik Erik. During this period of my life, I independently promoted shows (under the name of Ding Dong Ditch Productions). I would rent out local VFW Halls, use space at Oakland Community College Auburn Hills Campus, or simply throw basement parties around the Detroit area!
While at college at Ferris State University, I became head of the student run organization, Entertainment Unlimited, and continued to promote shows, but on a larger scale. I also helped start an underground zine, 'Outpunk', where I interviewed bands and wrote music reviews. Additionally, I joined on with the staff at the Ferris State University Torch and wrote on a larger scale.
When I left college, in the mid 90’s, I went to work in the “real world”. Promoting shows and writing fell to the wayside, until NOW…
