Hey there, My name is Gretch. I was raised in L.A. and started playing music when I was five years old. I was a True Punk from the beginning and still one today, that's just me. Some people call me a Veteran of the Sunset Strip music scene. I have played every club in Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles area. There are a lot of credits to my name but too many to mention. My first band at the age of eleven was a punk band called "Dredded Youth". I started my second band, "Tease", when I was fourteen, playing guitar and vocals. We played with many well-known big bands of today but Tease only lasted for about four years when a tragic accident broke us up. I left L.A. in 1989 and moved to Washington DC where I played in a few bands but was never really happy. So in 1992, I packed up and moved to Phoenix.

Once in Phoenix I met up with Sal, Cyd, and Draci as the final piece of "Against The Natural". The funny thing is that I started as the second Guitar player until I broke the news to them after a long search for a Bass player that I also played the Bass; I've been the Bass player ever since. While playing in Against The Natural, I was also in "The Furnace" and "The Meek", and still currently in "Chamber 8". But through all the years of ups and downs, Against The Natural has maintained with all the original four members. My influences are Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), John Entwistle (The Who), and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

Bands that have influenced me are Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Ozzy, BB King, Hanoi Rocks, KISS, Michael Schenker Group (MSG), and The Who. Later Influences are Anthrax, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, and many more.

Now you know a bit about me... All that I know is music, it's my life, it's in my blood.
