Like most kids I started band in elementary school, picking up the trumpet. By the next year the music bug had bit me big time. By fifth grade I started lessons on the bass guitar. By the time I hit jr. high school I was playing in band at school (trumpet) and copying my favorite bands after school in various bands with freinds.
By my senior year in high school I was playing in Concert band(Trumpet), Symphonic band (tuba), and Jazz band (Bass) aswell as after school projects with friends. My first real project was in early 1996 when I joind the Tacoma band Face First. We played many local shows and I recorded my first "real" record. As with most bands we broke up and some of the members including myself started a new project named First time tomorrow. During this time I was also playing in many blues jams and other forums with my freind and drummer Jad Simpson to keep my chops up. With one record realesed and one small tour I decided I wanted to hit the road. So I joined up with Seattle's Honey Tongue. With this band I released two records, and spent four years touring the States. Also during this time I was also doing session work for other artists around seattle. And playing outside of the band in various side projects. After I stopped touring I needed a break from performing , So I have spent the last year writing and recording in a very small home recording set up. And now refreshed and more creative than ever I am ready to return to my beloved work of music. I am availible for session work, Steady gigs, last minute fill in's or maybe even another serious full time gig.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
