The band that I spent most of my twenties with. Had a blast recording quite a few full length cd's as well as traveling and playing around parts of the US by van. I was never in a band prior to PV and as of right now it is up in the air as to whether or not i will be in one again. I had a great 8 years with PV starting from the very beginning and always look upon it all as a great experience. Met some awesome people along the way as well as great bands. Will always remember great times in Morgantown WV, Ann Arbor MI and Wilmington NC just to name a few.

Our music is a love it or leave it sort of thing. I love it, of course. Can go from harsh to ambient without warning. The people I worked with are all amazing in their own ways. Everyone added their part in this band.

Along the way we lost and gained members but always retained friendships. Brian was the first to go so therefore probably the hardest for me. Currently he is playing with Rich from the band Bob. Under the name Black Love. Athens is their main stomping ground.

Travis was next. Also a hard one to depart with. Love him as a dear friend. His guitar work is incredible and I click with his style. He is currently married and living in Eugene OR. He also has a son named Felix.

After them, I believe we had Ron Bonn playing bass for us on tour and also had Leigh Jeffreys as a fill in guitarist/bassist for a few months. Eventually we found a fit with Jason LaFarge and John Whitaker who were mainstays for many years.

Around the 8 year mark John left PV and I soon after. PV continued for about a year after that with Brian Ginn and Todd Selsmanberger filling in the gaps.

Victory Girls were formed for a short time with Clara, Todd, Shane Pringle, Shane Sanders, Jason and Jeremy Klein.

Jason moved to NY and opened a recording studio in Brooklyn. seizures palace.
