About Me

Well, I finally got around to updating this site. I'm a guitar player looking for work. I've been playing for almost 30 years. I've been a weekend player for too long. I'm ready to play full time. I've studied with some of the best players around. Terry Wedding, Stan Lassiter and Roland Gresham. I'm still studying with Terry Wedding, and have been for more than 2 years now. I play Jazz, Rock, Blues and Country. I'm currently working on my demo, so I'll try to have some of those songs up real soon. My goal is to become a full time session player. Some day, I would love to record a jazz album and tour the world with my beautiful wife, Angy. Right now, I'm concentrating on commercial music so I can get into session work. My wife is a Godsend. She pushes me like nobody else to practice as much as I can. She understands the musician in me and supports me 100%. That is rare, as any guitar player knows. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale Fla. I started playing in church at the age of 14. I later got into Van Halen, then Ozzy. I played 80's metel until '95. I got interested in blues and jazz after that. Now, I'm also studying country and jazz with Terry Wedding. Terry introduced me to Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason at a show last year. They were both great players but Brent just blew me away. I go listen to him every chance I get. I've been studying his style of country playing. He's a challenging player to say the least. Check back for any further developments. I'll be posting some of my own songs, periodically. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these current tunes. There is no telling what I'll come up with next.
