About Me

What can I say?I am just a low-profiled,simple and a very naughty bass player.Guitars has always been my passion although I wasn't born to the itinerant life of a rocker;I picked up the bass guitar and chose it. Moved to California from the Southern state of Georgia and hasn't looked back ever since.Three words to describe my personality....quiet,articulate and full of sh*t.The kind of guy that likes to slip in and out of a room unnoticed,unobtrusive as a shadow..........
