Started his musical career as a drummer for the band 'Dan Kidney and the Pulsations' before moving on to Sardonica (featuring the legendary Sal Bee). He played with Sardonica for eight years (a taste of things to come). Jerry Only contacted him, and he joined with Jerry and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein on one Kryst The Konqueror album, while Jerry was still trying to get the rights to The Misfits name.During the legal battle against Glenn Danzig, Dr. Chud was busy with a side project, known as "Sacred Trash". Chud wrote, played guitar and sang on the band's debut, and only, release, also called "Sacred Trash". The band did not last, as Jerry Only finally won the legal fight for the name of The Misfits. Dr. Chud had to start sitting behind The Misfits' drumset.The Misfits went on their "Resurrection" tour in 1996 and immediately afterwards Dr. Chud, Jerry Only, Doyle and Michale Graves were headed into the studio to record the Geffen Records release "American Psycho", which featured quite a few songs penned by Dr. Chud.Two years passed, full of numerous tours with such acts as Marilyn Manson, Anthrax and Megadeth, singles releases and a live album, produced by Dr. Chud. Then they hit the studio again, this time to record an album for RoadRunner Records, "Famous Monsters" was born. About the same time, Jerry and Dr. Chud recorded "1969" with Joey Ramone for an Iggy Pop tribute record called "They Will Fall" and the track was also used later on Joey Ramone's own album, "Don't Worry About Me".After six years in the group, two studio records, a live record, appearances in films such as Animal Room (1995) and Bruiser (2000) and even time as a wrestler in the WCW, Dr. Chud and Michale Graves walked away from The Misfits to form a new group more fitting to their growing tastes. This new group was called "Graves". Within a year the group wrote nine songs and had arranged a nationwide tour. Immediately after the "Web of Dharma" tour, they went into the studio to record a "Web of Dharma" album, and Dr. Chud produced and distributed it through his own GDU Records. Afterwards, they went out for a second leg of the "Web of Dharma" tour, in 2002, and shortly after that they disbanded, Michale going off to form Gotham Road.Dr. Chud, however, went into recording his new X-Ward CD, "Diagnosis for Death", which has recently been released.
