About Me

Tools of the Trade

I first picked up the guitar in 1989 and have never put it down. I enjoy spending time with my wife, family, and friends.

I played the local band scene in Savannah, Georgia back in the 90's with a local band called Bend Sinister (aka Ben's Sister). After Bend Sinister went their seperate ways, I dedicated myself to mastering the guitar. My specialties include rock and blues, but I can tackle just about any style you throw at me.

I now reside in Jacksonville, Florida and have sharpened my skills over the years. Not only do I play kick ass lead guitar, but I groove a wicked array of rhythms as well. I sing out of necessity, but I have a powerful voice. I also tinker with the bass, drums, harmonica, piano, and any other instruments I can get my hands on.

Good Times
