About Me

I was born in Hollywood but have spent most of my life here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was privately taught guitar by Steve Smyth of Testament , Nevermore , Dragonlord . Vocally, I'm trained by two-time Grammy-winning Chris Fritzsche of Chanticleer . At Santa Rosa Junior College , I've completed all four semesters of classical theory, all four of ear training/sight singing, both of jazz theory, counterpoint, and computer recording. I've also sang in the Sonoma State University Honor Choir and performed with The Santa Rosa Symphony . I gig primarily in the SF Bay Area and have also toured nationally. I'll be touring Europe with Imagika in '09.
I play Mesa Boogie Amps , EMG Pickups , and Sfarzo Strings .
Current Working Projects:
I play lead guitar for Imagika , and a Slayer tribute called Blood Red . I also do freelance live and studio work.
