History

Chip became active in the South Florida hardcore scene in 1995 and started his first band, Destro, in 1997 with high school friends Roy Ugarte and future Glasseater guitarist, Ariel Arro. The band went on a brief hiatus in 1998 and he formed xMore Than Everx which only played a few shows. Destro started up again in late 1998 after drummer Ully and singer Manny left. New drummer Julio Marin of Promise No Tomorrow and later of Glasseater joined as did vocalist Kenn Marshall. The band recorded 2 records, an EP and a full length, played Hellfest 2000 and 2001 as well as Furnace Fest 2000 before breaking up in 2002. Chip then formed All Hell Breaks Loose with members of Santa Sangre and Target Nevada. In 2002, Chip also joined Where Fear and Weapons Meet and Until the End with Morning Again's John Wylie.

In 2003, he started Dance Floor Justice with Alex Leon of Target Nevada, All Hell Breaks Loose and Hockey Temper. In November 2004, drummer Joe Lamadrid suddenly died which prompted All Hell Breaks Loose to call it quits. At the present time, Chip plays guitar in No Excuses, a Tallahassee based straight edge hardcore band.

Chip is also a rabid collector of band tshirts from mainly, but not limited to, 90s hardcore bands.
