Colin grew up in Pittsburgh, a boy soprano. Around the time he discovered girls and his voice changed, he stopped singing Classical and jumped right into performing with the Rocky Horror Picture Show floor show. (On a good night sometimes Colin dons his gold underwear, greases down with Vaseline and belts out a few numbers.) Colin decided he wanted to be a drummer when he found out he would get to hit things in front of people. A Prince fan since high school, Colin loves to listen to and to play music which expresses the entertainer's joy in performance.

Sometimes Colin can be seen in the front yard of his house trimming the bushes with a fighting saber screaming like a madman. (The neighbors love Colin.) He is a Jewish Carpenter and sometimes he thinks that he's Jesus.

Colin has a tongue that would make Gene Simmons blush.
