Zeb was born on a hippy commune in the mountains of Colorado and grew up all over the country. He started playing in punk bands his senior year. His first real band was Cirrhosis in Minneapolis in 1993 where he moved after high school.

Within about a year he went traveling and met Mikey Matusio and the two formed Black Maggot in Oakland in 1994. The Maggot House was their house on Harper Street in Berkeley. Black Maggot had a few line up changes and then morphed into Skaven in 1995. That year they toured with Dystopia and recorded and released the Skaven/Dystopia split LP. The Compound was born in 1996 and Zeb lived there until 1997. With the break up of Skaven he moved to Berkeley with his girlfriend and out of punk houses for the moment. Also the beginning of an opiate addiction. He moved across the bay to San Francisco in 1999 and then to Bozeman Montana in 2002. He played in several bands in Montana, culminating in forming DemonSteed and playing with them until 2008. They played a reunion show on Halloween Night 2018.

Zeb moved back to Oakland in 2012/13 and met his wife Megan that year. They were married in 2015. Since moving back to Oakland he played in Skarz and now with Vermidax.

He continues to be incredibly good looking and a 100% Rock'n'Roll Werewolf.
