Chris (aka: Dego, Meatface, Security)
In the words of Paul McCartney: "I'd rather have a band than a Rolls-Royce." I couldn't have said it better, Paul. As one of the original members of 39 Mariner, I've seen this thing grow and become the band that it is today. It's more than a band to me. It's a family / fraternity / club all wrapped into one big thing. The guys that I share the stage with are, and will always be, my brothers.

Sometimes people ask me, 'how do you do this every weekend?' Easy. I love it. And I can't say thank you enough to all of our fans, friends and family that have been to countless shows to party with us over the years. You all have truly made our memories what they are. Alright. That's it for now. Let's keep on rockin'!

Interests / Hobbies
I like to like to eat, especially after working out. I love playing paintball. I like 'gear'. I like going home after a gig and watching Goodfellas at 3am. I like driving a manual transmission. Small dogs are 'eh, but big dogs rock. They just flat out make me laugh because they don't care about anything! I like being a 'catalyst'. I love the Phillies. I love being at the Jersey shore in the summer. Playing a shore gig after a day on the beach is my idea of heaven.
