## Biography
### Introduction to music and The Early November

Enders began playing guitar after being inspired by watching his step dad, Robert Gazzara, play in a band. Enders taught himself how to play his step dad's old guitar.
In February 2001, Enders along with guitarist Jim Sacco, bassist Sergio Anello and drummer Jeff Kummer formed The Early November. In 2003, after the release of their first two EPs For All of This, and The Acoustic EP, the band released their debut full-length album The Room's Too Cold.
In 2004, Enders started his own solo project I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business, releasing the self-titled album on October 26, 2004. Enders has stated that I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business "was a one-album thing".
Recording of the third Early November album began in February 2005. The album, titled The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path, was a triple disc concept album with an entwining plot of a torn family, from the perspective of a growing child. The album took over a year to complete due to a multitude of issues. Before conceptualizing The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path, Enders contemplated leaving the music business and possibly going into retail or construction.
Enders, along with the rest of The Early November, have reunited and began playing shows, and have released an album, In Currents, which was released on July 10, 2012. Since their return The Early November have played with acts such as The Wonder Years, Cartel, All Time Low, Young Statues, The Swellers, Seahaven, Man Overboard, Into It.
