About Me

I'm a bass player by trade, but can keep my head above water on guitar and piano. I toured for a year as a guitarist with John Mayer. Currently, I have the privilege of performing with a handful of very talented musicians such as Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Darrell Scott, Shawn Mullins, Casey Driessen, Maureen Murphy, Keeley Valentino, and Sam and Ruby. In addition to performing, I run an independent production company. The music(s) on this site are selections from albums that I have produced, engineered, and/or played on. For more information on any of these artists, send me a message.
