About Me


I especially love to perform live with musicians that I'm friends with! It's an amazing feeling to get people UP dancing or affect them in such a way that they feel an honest-to-goodness emotion. I prefer to play lead electric guitar in a freely creative setting, but I am also content playing rhythm, acoustic, bass, and keyboards. I've been in the following bands: The Liquipeaks, Spiral Spirits, Schismatic, Lucid, Bernie and the Bernouts, Sunhawk, Maple Mojo, Free Creatures, and DW40.
Currently I am playing music with 2 bands - Spiral Spirits and Free Creatures . Please check out their respective websites for more info.
Spread GOOD VIBES of peace, love, and happiness around the earth and life will be better for everyone! The guides to living a successful life... peace, love, happiness, kindness, hope, fun, faith, health, wisdom, music, art, freedom, beauty, respect, compassion, intelligence, honesty, open-mindedness, and a will to thank and praise God.
