About Me

I'm a guitarist that is a sort of jack of all trades, master of none. I love so many different players and really try to not so much learn their licks but emulate their approach and vibe. Not saying I accomplish that but it's what I attempt to do. I'm very gear conscience and have accumulated enough to cover most any situation and sound. I've played w/ various cover bands and some original projects as well over the years. I've been playing guitar for longer than I care to remember. I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and while I decided to get out after about 7 semesters, I learned SO much there and it really improved my understanding of the inner workings of music. Met some great musicians while I was there as well. I've done a good amount of touring, doing casino's, Hard Rock Cafe's and your typical clubs up and down the east coast, as far west as Kansas City. Played w/ many great players doing that. Hi Dana, Bela, Chico, Craig, Joe, Tracy, Brian, and all those drummers that I can't remember the names of. LOL! Good times.... The current band I'm in is The Godaddies. We're essentially a rock cover band although we do a little of some other genres. Great guys, great players. I really enjoy playing w/ them. I need to get back on the writing horse and I vow to do that as a new chapter in my life unfolds.
