About Me

I have been playing music since the age of 4. From drums and violin to singing then finally, guitar. I have been playing, learning, teaching, and loving the guitar for over 25 years. From studio to live, playing in almost every style known to mankind.
It started while growing up in the South suburbs of Chicago that I started picking up music from my brother, taking some lessons, and developing his ear and playing with some bands and local musicians. It was during high school that I moved to San Antonio, Texas with my family and played in several bands. I got to play in many cities around Texas and then decided to leave town after high school to attend GIT at Musicians Institute in Hollywood.
I have been playing guitar, bass, mandolin, and performed vocals at live shows and studio sessions for various artists playing everything from Techno and Country music, to rock and metal. I have been playing steadily with the bands, Skinny Little Twits, Black Pearl, and Jimbo's Wild Ride.
