About The Ravens’ Edge
Sometimes you just have to stop dreaming about what you want to do, and just get up and do it. The Vault of Metal was only one part of a larger idea. So here we are! Back for more, and a lot more laid back. I want to create something I can share with just about anyone. Culture and fun is way more interesting to me now. And I hope this is but a first step.
What is the plan? A Variety Talk Show, with plans to go live interactive video. But you have to start somewhere. And here is ours, and time can only tell where we end up. I want to do more than just music interviews and reviews. Looking to build Community with a wider range of people and ideas this time!
I used to joke about this is what happens when you give a Metalhead a talk show, now it’s time to get back to what I enjoy!
Music, Games, Movies and Television, Pop Culture, Travel, Health and Well being, the Arts - all this and more as time comes.
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be adding more as often as I can, while I build towards my goals.

“The Last time I saw something so Hairy, I WAS ATTACKED” Davy Jones of the Monkees once said to me in 2009. Then and now, he was somewhat right!
Who Am I? I was a Internet Radio Presenter, who in 2005 was fortunate enough and in the right place at the right time. I was able to do a Classic Rock Program on FM Radio in Arizona. On top of my 5 day a week show Online “The Vault of Metal”, that I created in 2004.
Then while still doing the Vault of Metal, I was hired on to the Terrestrial Radio Talk Show “The Real Radio Show” Hosted by Frankie Dee - along with Co Hosts like L.A.W. from Planet 12 and Cousin Vinny. Filling the seat vacated by A.J. Pero of Twisted Sister!
Also in 2014 I started “The Ravens’ Edge Radio Show” on the Wacko Radio Network on Blog Talk Radio. While there I also assisted in producing several shows - including “Chewing the Fat with Big & Beefy” featuring Hell’s Kitchen Chef Clemenza Casserta Jr. and Rob Burmeister “Lunchlady Man” from several Food Network shows including CHOPPED.
Over the years I was fortunate to interview so many great guests. Some of them include: Rick Derringer, Rudolph Schenker & Michael Schenker, Vinnie Appice, Blasko, Dave Ellefson, Dave Brockie, Corey Smoot, Morgan from Kittie, Girlschool, DORO, Boris Valejo, Gary Kramer of Kramer Guitars, and King Diamond!
Over 900 guests in total between all the shows combined! So many I can’t remember them all!
In 2016 my health and living situation forced me to give up my love of Radio. And in 2021 During the Pandemic I started to miss doing some sort of “show” - and now as of 2023 I am starting towards that goal!
Many years older, sometimes wiser, a lot saltier, and a desire to reconnect with people from all over the world and build community. Heavy Metal style! I may no longer be a Radio Presenter, but I will always be what made me who I am. A Metalhead!
I have been fortunate to have met and worked with so many people over the years! Without them, and all of you who have tuned in day after day. Each week, all those years.
THANK YOU!
