About Me

I'm this Bass Guitar player from Colorado. I'm the son of a senator. I started playing bass when I was 11. My family moved to West Verginia when I was 12. When Was 17 I moved back to Colorado after graduating from the MCA Military school Class 1-02. I played bass for Skinned and toured... it was fun. In 2005 I went to Musician's Institute BIT and RAP. I'm not as much a band as I am a guy that plays bass. I do my own thing, but i have bands to (Wildphyr and Demagogue). I teach bass guitar, as well as write, record, mix, master with as many people as I can, as often as I can, so don't be shy, say hello.
