Rudy has spent his entire life on California's Central Coast. Living halfway between San Francisco and LA has provided a unique opportunity to experience all types of music from the early SF punk days of Dead Kennedys and Flipper to the emergence of west coast hardcore pioneers Black Flag and Dr. Know. Later, bands from the Pacific Northwest would tour down Interstate 5 and the whole 90's thing exploded with Soundgarden, Tad, Mudhoney and some three piece from Aberdeen. Rudy is also passionate about history and volunteers for the Dana Adobe.
