About Me

General Info
I am a happily married husband, proud father and passionate musician. Although I do have experience on keyboards and bass, my main instrument has always been the electric guitar, which I've been playing since the fall of 2002. Besides my bands I am also working on 2 different types of solo projects:
Number 1 will be some acoustic guitar singer/songwriter stuff. Number 2 is an all instrumental "guitar player" type of album. There is no such thing as a release date for any of those, but both sides are constantly growing and will reach the surface one day. Mixed results between both are possible as well.
For a first look, feel free to check out a few videos:
