ABOUT ME
I tend to be a well rounded person always looking for a new challenge. Music drives me to be creative and open with my thoughts and feelings. I started out as an upright bass player when I was thirteen and took on guitar lessons soon after that. I had a recording set-up as early as fifteen years old and have been a songwriter ever sense. Though I have played multiple genres, hard rock has always been a music style that I can connect with. My biggest influences include: Chevelle, Deftones, Thrice, Silversun Pick-ups, Mudvayne, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Greenday (Dookie), Coldplay, and The Killers. These days I focus on bringing full energy in performance and song.

FAVORITE QUOTES
“I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.” ~ Jimmy Page
“My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.” ~ David Gilmour
FUN FACT
I made a living as a Jazz Bass Player for three years while playing in a trio that brought in guest musicians from other countries as well as other states.
