Ronnie started his career in Early 92' playing bass in a extreme 5 piece thrash metal band called Aspyxia joining his brother Mikill
(Mike Chatman) covering all the great mid/late 80 metal covers! slayer, exodus, overkill, forbidden, testament, metal church, santcuary and other thrashing metal gods!
couple years later wanted to branch to other instruments after the fall of Aspyxia, joined another band playing 6 string/vocals in a thrash rock group called Chaos, & fortunant to perform with another talented lead guitarist named Jeff Goss with Catchy originals that started to smoulder out of the basement & few shows, etc., Jeff eventually quit going solo himself & leaving Ronnie, Rich & Tim.. which formed into Snap Dragons! Ronnie knew by the then the hidden doors and talents to his Fate & Fame! The Snap Dragons eventualy released the self titled CD featuring Just A Memory (In Loving Memory Of Kelly Logan) with song titles Mr. Helpless, 911, HourGlass, My Hell & others, Then things once again came to halt as common problems disinigrated the band! going solo once again, away went the dragons into a cloud of smoke! A few months later along came CREEP with startling keys and heavy thundering drums! CREEP released there debut CD Purgatory which included shivering songs as Slither, Homicide & others but only short lived as history repeated itself, then one day mikill called me up & motivated me back to the old school thrash metal days, we then decidied to unleash Hollow Point as a 4 piece that eventually turned into Deadmask with killer death thrashing originals & covers combined!!! after sometime the line-up & style changed spawning into HoleShot then shortly after mikill departed to proceed with his own experimental projects! still keeping the flame alive with a few member additions & finally transforming into the band Killjoy back in 2004/2005 & once again history repeats itself I'm Solo Again!!!
Mainly I play/perform private parties, radio stations & few venues in the past, you name it! My favorite performance had to have been at the fuckin Crowbar in State College, Pa.
Everything I listen to is an influence on me!!
