Past bands and projects: Ginger has played for a lot of unknown Las Vegas bands, as well as backed up Paul Anka and Barry Manilow for two weeks. He toured with a Top-40 band in the mid 80's. His parents own a theatre so he was the pit drummer for such shows as Company, Chicago, No No Nanette, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Merry Widow, and A Chorus Line. In seventh grade he began playing in pit bands. He was in drum corps for 3 years, then moved to college corps at the University of Nevada.

Leftie or Rightie?: He's a leftie, but occasionally, he plays ambidextrously.
Extra Info: He has been sent to the hospital a bunch of times because Marilyn Manson missed the drum set and hit Ginger by mistake with a mic stand. He Doesn't do drug's. Information on Ginger Fish is quite sparse due to the fact that he chooses to be a more anonymous and less publicized member of Marilyn Manson.
Why does he call himself Ginger Fish?: Ginger Fish, like most of the members of the band combined a loved star's name, with a hated serial killer. Ginger Rogers is a famous singer/actress and Albert Fish was a cannibal killer.
Please Note that some of the following Information was gathered from the GinFest website, as soon as I have the chance I will check to make sure some of the information is true.
How he joined the band: The story WE heard was that Ginger was hitch-hiking in Las Vegas, Nevada and a few of the guys from MM picked him up. They talked, and somewhere in that time they asked him to be their drummer.
Funny story:While Marilyn Manson was playing in this showcase of Nothing Records bands, Ginger got clocked in the head by a mic-stand Marilyn was flailing with reckless abandon. The hit rendered him unconscious, and required him to get quite a few stitches. Poor baby!!! L
