About Me

I love music and can't imagine life without it. I've been playing bass for 14 years now. I'm currently the bass player for The Speedbumps and am always doing studio sessions and jazz gigs.
I listen to and play a lot of different styles of music, but mostly jazz, funk and fusion is the sound that comes from my soul. I've been playing bass guitar for 14 years and acoustic upright for 4 years.
I'm currently the bassist for The Speedbumps since 2006 (thespeedbumps.com) and I've recorded in Group Effort Studios for the Third Kind album, Central 8 Studios and StudioB for The Speedbumps album "Appletree". I've recorded at WKSU for Peter Yorrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary) and Roger McGuinn (of the Byrds). I've opened for Andrew Bird, OKGO, Matt Nathanson, Melvin Sparks (Blue Note session guitarist), Micheal Glabicki (Rusted Root), Jerry Garcia Band (but Jerry was still dead), Addison Groove Project, and plenty of other great bands.
I'm always looking for talented musicians to play with and studio work, as well as sponsorships and endorsements.
