My and my wife Cherri have been together for the past 15 years. We have three sons Jeremy, Christoper and Eric and one beautiful granddaughter Haley Neveah! We are both quite busy with our jobs but I have recently reformatted the band Ground Zero into Phase4. You can check this out on on our Phase4 site! My wife enjoys coming to our gigs and is one of my biggest fans! We both enjoy the music and hanging out with our friends!;
Now, i'll share about myself. Music is the breath of life for me! I've been playing guitar since i was nine years old and believe it or not, started out playing Country! That is, until i heard Jimi Hendrix... The first time i heard "The Star Spangled Banner" by Hendrix is when i was ten yrs. old. I looked at my Fender Strat and wondered how such amazing sounds came from such an instrument. I was changed from that moment on for the rest of my life!! Now, i'm 41 yrs. old and have a good solid 31 yrs of playing behind my belt. My style{so i've been told} is a weird mixture of Satriani, Malmsteen and Vai, with a little Hendrix twist.
I've worked with a few recording artists in my time, Brad Gillis of Night Ranger, Johann Oistad of Santana and signed Motown artist Colby O'Donnis, for whom i was a special guest performer at The House of Blues here in Orlando, Fl. most recently... I founded a Van Halen tribute band called "Raze Halen" in 1998 and played the usual local haunts. I also taught advanced guitar and music for several years and also was a student for ARTI School of Audio Engineering...
Presently, i'm in a band known as Phase4 and we gig all around the Central Fl. area. We do covers from the 80's/Hair metal era, along with other classic rock as well. Bax, Jimmy and Dave are all a bunch of very talented musicians and i've been waiting a LONG time for such a situation to come along! I don't know if Florida's ready for the Phase4 experience!!! ;) I look forward to sharing thoughts, ideas, trickbags and any thing else i can offer fellow guitarists/musicians. Let's ROCK!!
