    Marital Status:  Married to Kristine Luna (sorry girls, this dude is taken)

    Family:  Daughter named Alexa.  Dexter is the third of four children (as if one wasn't enough, you gotta give his mom kudos).  One of his parents is a nurse (I think his dad), and the other is a teacher (I think his mom).

What Converted him to Punk:  One of Dexter's older brothers gave him a compilation of "Rodney on the ROQ,"  and so it began...

Favorite Bands:  Dead Kennedys, TSOL, Social Distortion, Adolescents, Descendents, just to name a few.

Other Tidbits:  Dexter has a pilot's license, he loves Budweiser, he taught himself how to play the guitar (hey, like me :), he hates carrots (I dunno, it's just what I heard), he has a perverse interest in entry-level employment; he tried to apply at McDonald's in the Americana era, Dexter used to play the drums (and not too well in my opinion, from what I've seen on the "Americana" home video, no offense Dexter), and he can bend his pinky finger to the back of his hand (ouch!)

Side Project:  Nitro Records.  Dexter took his "Smash" money and started a new label, which now hosts bands like TSOL, the Vandals, and Guttermouth.  Dexter also re-released the Offspring's first album on this label.

Rumor Mill:  Dexter's wife is in a band called the Lunachicks.  Dexter wore leather to their wedding.  Dexter's first wife, and mother to Alexa, died in a car accident, and the track "Gone Away" was inspired by his late wife.  Dexter listens to Bjork... hmmm.  Dexter was the president of his high school math club.  Wears size 11 shoes... come on, who would know that?
