About Me

Hmmm, I started playing guitar in high school and...
Joined the Wilmington, DE band The Crash as lead-guitar/backup vox. We did the pop-punk/rock thing for a few years and then moved on... sort of.
A couple years after the demise of The Crash three of its members and a new drummer got together to form the modern rock band Clayton. I had an incredible time with the guys from both of these bands for a while but eventually moved on to start finding my own voice.
A couple years after leaving Clayton I got together with two long-time friends to form the West Chester, PA indie/emo band Penetration Theory. This is when I really put some time into developing my singing/songwriting style.
Eventually I realized that the time had come to highlight my solo talents and Penetration Theory dissolved in the process. I packed up a car-load of guitars, clothes and recording equipment and headed for Florida.
I was looking for a few things... love, music, a great scene, good times. I really needed to stretch my legs before I got settled into being all grown-up and I wasn't going to let money, a job or anyone in particular hold me back... Now I've finally made my way to Orlando and found the love of my life to fill up my songs!
