About Me

SF native: began geetar in highschool, and then quit because I was studying classical and wanted to play IRON MAIDEN. Funny how the ball got turned around on this one. Went on to SRJC and studied with randy vincent thru sonoma state. Played the jazz fest’s in Cotati, Sonoma and Berkeley. Moved to NY and studied with Jic Vuris for a couple of years(along with John Abercrombie). Played and played and played. I finally came back to the bay area and I did not play for several years. Took time off to figure out life!! (side tracked with BS) I finally relocated in northern ca where I am today. Some of the players I had the pleaure to play with were: Bruce Forman, Paul MCCandless, Dave Doulgas, Eric Alexander, John Stowell and many more.
