About Me

Been playing music most of my life. Started as a bass player switched to guitar in the mid 90's. I teach guitar, repair guitars and try my best to live a full and enjoyable life. Spent from 1990 to 1995 playing bass in various bands in LA. 1995 to 2002 as guitarist and songwriter in The B-Movie Rats. The Rats recently got back together for a few shows and released the last record we recorded back in 2002.Currently working on a new batch of songs for whatever new project/band I decide to pursue. Living in Boston looking for people who can relate and share musical vision. Rock,punk,jazz,country,blues,classical,world,old metal,classic hard rock. Get in touch.
