He got his first drum lessons at an age of 7 but he didn't practice that much, but he played with the school band. At an age of 12 he got a job at the music store in San Jose (USA) where he met other (older) musicians with who he could jam. He start playing in some cover bands and he met Bill Tsamis. He joined Bill's band Warlord and moved to Los Angeles (USA) with him. In Los Angeles (USA) they had their kind of rehearsal studio unofficially called "Bill's Place" but it became serious and it grew out to a real studio where both very known bands as very unknown bands came over. Mark Zonder plays in several projects and does producing and engineering work at Bill's Place.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
