The band Senses Fail began when Garrett Zablocki posted an internet advertisement to recruit members for the band. Buddy found this advertisement and the duo started working together, writing songs. Dave Miller and James Gill soon joined the band, however, disagreement with James led to him to be replaced by Mike Glita. The band’s name Senses Fail came from a concept of Hinduism of removing attachments to anything through letting your senses fail. The band started to earn popularity locally, and then started to record songs. They released the EP “From the Depths of Dreams” through ECA Records in 2002. The independent release did very well, and then they were signed to Drive-Thru Records a year later. Another EP was re-released and found a bit of success, so the band also started touring.
Neilsen and the band then worked on their debut album – “Let It Enfold You” – with the label Vagrant Records, which proved a success in the United States, selling 400,000 copies. The album saw the release of two songs including “Buried a Lie” which found mainstream success. The band started appearing in popular magazines, as their net worth increased quickly. They toured to support the release, and played with other popular bands such as My Chemical Romance. In 2005, the album was reissued, after which Dave Miller would leave the band to be replaced by Heath Saraceno.
They then took a break, before working on their second album called “Still Searching” which reduced the aggression of their previous songs; the song “Can’t Be Saved” would be featured as part of the video game “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”. The band toured once again to support the album.
Buddy then worked on releasing the album “Life Is Not a Waiting Room” for Senses Fail, the release of which in 2008 led them to tour once again. Two years later, they recorded another album called “The Fire”, which was released through Hassle Records. In 2011, they began working on another album called “Follow Your Bliss: The Best of Senses Fail”, which featured music from their previous album as well as four new songs. The following year, they then concentrated on another full length album called “Renacer”, which was released in 201, after which Buddy would focus on several side projects, including with the band Speak The Truth… Even If Your Voice Shakes.
In 2016, Nielsen then worked on an acoustic EP with Senses Fail. They still continue to tour and make music.
For his personal life, it is known that Buddy has struggled with sexual addiction, anxiety, and depression as stated in interviews. However, he recently indicated that he wanted to spend his life with his (un-named) girlfriend. His mother is actress Lisa Brown who directed several Senses Fail music videos including “Buried a Lie”.

After few years of hard work, Ben Stein decided to try himself in acting too, but before starting to get roles he became a Hollywood consultant.

Mikey Teutul Net Worth
Michael Joseph was born 26 November 1978, in Montgomery, New York State USA, and widely known as Mikey Teutul, is a reality television personality, the youngest son of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, Sr. Mikey began his working life at 14, in the family business.
So just how rich is Mikey Teutul, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Mikey has a net worth of over $3 million dollars, largely earned by working at his father’s and older brother Paul Jr,’s company Orange County Choppers (OCC), and Orange County Iron Works, and through his TV appearances.
Mikey Teutul Net Worth $3 Million
Little is known of Mikey’s early life or education – it seems to have always revolved around the family business. Helping out his family in his teens, theoretically he worked as Assistant General Manager. but his main duties were to answer ‘phones, and clear-up and take out the trash. He was on rare occasions given the chance to build bikes, until he was competent to build his own. He also attended events for promoting OCC.
In 2002, the family was invited to take part in a reality show, Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper”, and subsequently “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”, in the course of which the youngest son was thrown out of the business – the middle son is Daniel, and younger sister Cristin. The reason for Mikey’s exclusion was that Mikey tried to be a mediator between his father and his brother, but his father seemed to be offended that his younger son did not take his side, and so threw him out of the business. During the filming of the show, Mikey was somethoing of a comedy relief to his father’s workers, and that comedy streak helped gain him popularity in TV shows. Mikey then joined his brother’s post-OCC venture, -Paul Jr Designs – along with most of their father’s employees; obviously the work atmosphere with Paul Teutul, Sr. was not a particularly happy one. Mikey’s eldest brother Paul Jr. was the former chief fabricator of OCC.
So actually the main source of Mikey Teutul’s wealth is not his father’s business, but the shows he eventually took part in. These have included ‘The Late Show with David Letterman”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, and also “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. The shows became very popular and Mikey’s appearances earned him a significant amount of money. To say the least, the family drama did not go without consequences – according to rumours, Mikey Teutul was suffering from an addiction problem, and consequently admitted himself to rehab, and managed to overcome the bad habits which were apparently hindering his progress in life, obviously including business.
In his life away from the businesses already referred to and the limelight of TV, Michael loves to paint, and is apparently respected for his productions, as he opened “The Wolfgang Gallery” gallery in Montgomery, New York, where he has sold or auctioned his paintings, adding somewhat to is net worth, although rumours suggest that the gallery may now be closed. Most recently, Mikey is now trying to enter the market under the moniker LLC FarQueue Products with his line of gourmet pasta sauces. Good luck, Mikey!
In his less-than-private personal life, Mikey is apparently still single – there aren’t even any rumours of romantic liaisons.
