About Me

Debut album "LINES ON THE ROAD" available now! Click here!Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, exposed to the sights and sounds of the City, my desire to create and perform was a reflection of my surroundings. God bless the freaks!I developed my playing through countless hours (years) of jamming and touring the world with my band Death Angel. After DA put out 3 studio albums and a live (bootleg) album, we called it quits. I formed "The Organization" with other former DA band members and we released 2 studio albums. We were on the road for years supporting those records.Since then, I've been in a number of musical projects such as: The Past, Smokestack and Swarm. Today, I enjoy jamming, creating, laughing and touring around the globe with my bros again in our HEAVY AS HELL band: Death Angel. In fact, we (DA) are currently in the studio writing our next slab of new tunes slated to hit the streets in the spring of 2008.The music that you find here is, I guess, what you would call my "solo" stuff. Material that is very personal to me and inspired by the life I'm living. I have been writing and recording this style of music ever since the early days of DA but never went the distance of releasing it. Well, no more "saving it for a rainy day"...Hope you dig the tunes!
