Cory grew up in Johnstown, PA, He currently lives in Pittsburgh and works as a lawyer.

Cory always wanted to play drums growing up, but his parents thought they were too expensive, too loud, and took up too much space. He started playing guitar and eventually decided bass was the next best thing to drums.

He eventually ended up at Penn State where he formed a band that included a man named John who was a complete prick. After the band kicked out John for his prick-like personality, Andy "Smiles" Oddo was brought into the fold. As painful as it is for Cory to recognize achievements in others--he is, recall, a stereotypical egotistical Type A personality lawyer--he does admit that Smiles is a hell of a guitar player and riff writer. In addition to achieving cover band success, Smiles' creative efforts inspired the band to create a demo that received airplay and sent them to 4th place in a large Battle of the Bands competition.

Cory enjoys the fact that Walk of Shame lets him have fun on the weekends while providing entertainment. He can often be seen jumping around like an idiot on stage.
