I first picked up the guitar when, I was about three years old and havent put it down since. As I grew up, being a musician became a passion that would direct my steps throughout my life. I went through a number of different of instruments before, I found the bass guitar.
I began taking lessons from Charlie Watson, a legendary jazz guitarist, who taught the bass guitar from a rhythm guitarist perspective. His influence goes with me to this day. As a teenage rocker, I discovered players like Geddy Lee & Steve Harris. Through the years, I have been influenced by bassists from all styles of music from jazz to heavy metal. The turning point in my personal life and music career was a conversation with one of the greatest musicians that ever lived.
He encouraged me to continue playing and I could be a great player, one of the best, because I had been given this talent by God and He expected me to use it for His glory. I realized that God wanted me to use my talent for His purpose and not my own. That simple statement impacted me to pursue music as a life long calling and not just a career. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to tour and record with some the greatest Christian rock bands and Christian artists on the charts today. I have toured and performed extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. Personally, my wife and my two children are the greatest accomplishment in my life. They make life complete and I am truly blessed to have them in my life! God has blessed me beyond measure and I am humbled that He chose me to serve Him through sharing His love and truth through song!I have been a touring & session pro for 23 years.
