About Me

Started playing guitar when I was 8 or so. Formed my first goup in the 5th grade called "The Sock Monkeys!." I was the 1st place winner of the "Extreme Guitar Challenge" when I was 15. On my 19th b-day I packed a suitcase, my guitar and flew to California to join the L.A. based band "Turbulence." I played the Whisky A Go-Go and the Roxy Theater a lot and it was a blast. Moved back to FL a year later to join my dad's blues/classic rock cover band "Blackwater," and started writing music with my brother. Now I'm playing with the Orlando based cover band "The Imposters" as well as my original band that I formed in late 03'.
