On the topic of the band Alice In Chains I can answer almost any question concerning discographies, recording sessions, concert history, tours, and their music (including bootlegs). However, my research only covers the years up to the death of Layne Staley (2002). This topic has been a consuming interest of mine for years and I have aquired a huge database of information: articles and interviews, chart histories and reviews, discographies, biographies, band histories, an EXTENSIVE music library comprised of demos, audio and video bootlegs, side projects, collaborations, soundtrack contributions, and audio/video studio releases.
Journalism major, MSU (SMSU) newspaper. I've written several (private,unpublished) research papers on the beginnings and subsequent careers of Alice In Chains and it's members both past and present up to 2002. Still actively researching the band, but focus on the Layne Staley years.
Organizations
None currently. Previously belonged to Sierra Society, NAMI, National Parks and Conservation Association, Philatilists Society and Amnesty International.
Publications

Education/Credentials
I graduated summa cum laude with an Associate of Arts degree from MSU (previously SMSU) in 1993 and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa.
Awards and Honors
