Fullsize grew up in the Chicago suburbs and, as a young teenager, became infused with the house music that the city is legendary for. As his production and DJ'ing gained momentum in the mid-1990's he found himself more closely drawn to the techno coming from Detroit and overseas, yet never fully abandoned the house music that had become a permanent part of himself. He now resides in the Phoenix desert and continues with styles that reflect his Midwestern techno and tech-house core. He also hosts the weekly Jivehive.org Podcast.
