Occupation: Former bassist for Waking Midnight. Currently working an accountant job.
- Born the second child of Gwen and Roy Craven.
- Raised in Miami, Florida.
- Grew up as sort of a mental child. He has ADD/ADHD which he takes medication for and has all sorts of energy to burn off. He was always into everything, causing a ruckus and just wouldn't stop. He had no of button.
- In school, despite being an intelligent student, his ADD/ADHD got him into a lot of trouble. He got into a lot of fights and almost got expelled for his unruly behavior. He was suspended in high school and missed graduation, which he had to complete in summer school.
- His best friends are sullymatthews, brentdawson, alandex & the now deceased aidubo.
- He worked odd jobs on and off as a teenager, his favorite being a clerk in a music store. There, he self taught himself how to play bass. He never did buy himself a bass guitar. Whenever he did get money, it always wound up having to pay for his medication among other house hold necessities. It wasn't in his budget.
- When he turned 17, sullymatthews presented him with his very own bass guitar to call his own. Since then, his self taught playing has paid off.
- He landed a gig with Waking Midnight as their first bass player, and played on a majority of their releases including live material. He's toured with them across the country, and considers those boys brothers.
- Coming out of High School, he had a serious girlfriend named Mary Beth. She seemed to be the only person brave enough to deal with how rowdy he could get and she stuck by him through out everything. She was his inspiration to get his ass in gear with his summer schooling. When they were both 19, they got married.
- In the last year, he had to take a leave of absence from Waking Midnight when he found out Mary Beth was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. At the same time, she was pregnant with the couple's first child. Sadly, both Mary Beth and their child didn't make it.
- He moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania in December. He was going to approach the band after he had dealt with coping from the loss of his love and unborn child, but had noted that they had moved on with a new bassist and had been doing well with him. So he opted to just stay away. Then the day the music died happened when he found out aidubo had passed away. He lost his love for music, and found himself in an tie wearing accountants job.
- His influences in music are not legends in the music industry, but the fans that made his pay check. They inspired him and kept him going.
- He has a few special talents with being able to paint and draw portraits, landscapes and freestyle.
- Is often picked on for the lack of his height. He's not of average male height, but doesn't have a problem being short. He just hates being made fun of for it now and again.
- He's a lover of classic horror films. The black and white ones with Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price. To him, there's a certain quality to those movies that aren't seen in movies today, although he does love a few of the movies from today.
- Has a surprising taste in music. Of course, he likes the typical typecast music for him, which is rock music from the eighties and some rock from today, but one of his favorite bands is the Brian Setzer Orchestra / Stray Cats. He enjoys a lot of swing music, and even a little bit of Elvis Presley.
- Completely disapproves of the Twilight bullshit going on in the world. If he could, he'd stake the sparkly fuck himself.
- He's allergic to some ingredients in Pepsi and Coca Cola so he hardly has soda. He normally drinks water, vitamin water, beer, or coffee.
- He has a famous uncle in writer/director/producer of movies, Wes Craven.
