"Flippy" has been a musician since 1986 when he started playing
tuba. Since then he has learned many instruments including Ukulele,
bassoon, and bagpipes. "I think of myself as musical machine, not an
artist. Music is not a way to express deep feelings inside me but
math and formulas." Flippy is one of the founding members of
Liberty's Teeth and has watched the band go though lots of changes
over the years. "The first two years Liberty's Teeth had three names
and fourteen drummers. The kilt and bagpipes did not come in until
the 3rd year. The addition of dedicated and stable members help get
LT off the ground. Liberty's Teeth owes it's success to members past
and present. (Thanks Adam, Tony, and Wally)"
"Flippy" attended Millikin University for Music Education but did not
complete his degree due to the challenges of learning all the
instruments and "other things"...
"I took a lot away from Millikin and I am a better musician for going
there." Marc is currently working on a teaching degree in secondary
history / social studies.
