Bio
The Life of Ratt as written.
Early life
Robert (aka Ratt) was raised in a small town in north-west Ohio called Wapakoneta, Ohio. He grew up with two brothers and two sister. His parents separated when he was seven and his mother moved him and his younger siblings around a lot when he was younger as she struggled to make a living for her self and family. His father didn't see much of him and didn't understand Rob wile growing up; as an effect Rob took up many other father figures to try and learn the lessons he needed in life.
Most of his time was spent on the computer, or playing video games. He loved to use Adobe Photoshop to make things, like band T-shirts, flyers, CD Covers and things like that. As well as build webpage designs and put them togeather.
School & Sports
Robert attended many different schools. Third grade and 5th till his sophmore year he attended Wapakoneta City Public Schools. Fourth Grade was attended at Cridersville Elementary for half a year and Bowen Elemntary the other half. Fifth grade was attended half year at Bowen Elementary and then back in Wapakoneta city schools. During his last two years of high school he joined Apollo Career Center, a vocational school in Shawnee, where he studied Computer Application Programming.
Early on in his life, he use to play basketball and even played for Bowen Elementary School's 5th grade basketball team in Grandrapids, Mi. As he grew up he found that he enjoyed running and during his 8th grade and freshman year of school he joined his home town's school track team. He ran the 100, 200, and did pole vaulting. Pole vaulting is where he accelerated and was even invited to numerous invitationals.
Music
Rob always had a love for music ever since a young age. When he was younger he listened to the 80's pop music, as time grew on, he started to develop a love for 90's alternate music. It wasn't till early in his high school years that he started to get into Punk Rock Music. As he aged into a maturing teenager, he found his individuality in music. Punk Rock defined who he felt he was and Rob embarrassed it quickly with a passion. He started in hardcore punk, such as the Dead Kennedys which was the first Band he come to realize and personally define as Punk Rock.
In his early years he went to shows, this helped him define more his love for punk rock, he was listing to other music such as Emo, and Industrial. Seeing punk at shows is what got him moving. He cast out the other forms of music cause he felt that he couldn't relate with them as well. Punk music moved his feet, and made his heart race, and the lyrics of the political punk bands aligned with what he felt about society. He stopped going to shows in late 2004 because his local punk bands died in the oncoming wave of Emo. As this happened he found him self looking for more. He finished school and as that time happened he found a few local fellow punks that he hung out with and he found his way to bigger shows, seeing bands like, The Causlties, Nofx, Cheap Sex, and Rancid live. This allowed him to dive back into the scene and start working on things again, he started his own D.I.Y. Stenciling, he made T-shirts and Spray ups for local punks to us. He got inspiration from a site he had found online, [StencilPunks.Org], with the site and his own knowledge of Photoshop he made his own stencils and would pass out patches, at shows, and too friends.
As time went on, he decided to move too Florida and he settled down in Orlando. It didn't take long for him to make it to a local show and make some friends. He made friends with numerous local Orlando Punks. He made friends with a local punk, Mad Dog. Mad Dog had determination to make the punk scene a better place, he did promotions, made fliers, and was even doing a magazine. He called his promotional support "Define Normal." A non-profit organization full of nothing but punk rockers trying to give bands they love a name and support other local punk organizations.
Eventualy Rob left Orlando and moved back home, where he still went went to shows as often as he could but he finnally started getting into bands. He started 2 bands, he did vocals for one, and played drums in the other, nether that went any where, but still he actively is seeking a punk band to join.
