Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, he attended many Journey concerts in the area before moving to Hawaii, where he saw Journey in better weather. He is an avid collector of books, music, and musical instruments that he can’t play. After listening to Infinity, he bought Journey’s first three albums, which initially confused him but helped him appreciate their prodigious talents. While he never achieved the size of Neal Schon’s 1970s afro, he did perm his hair throughout high school in homage to one of his favourite guitarists.
