Influences: Too many to count.To name just a few (in no particular order): Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Tom Hess, Mike Walsh, George Bellas, Vitalij Kuprij, Yngwie Malmsteen, Rusty Cooley, Joe Stump, Michael Romeo, John Petrucci, Randy Rhoads, Zack Wylde, Rhapsody, Andy LaRoque, etc...I also really dig classical music, violin, piano, classical guitar and some cool singers (Dio, Fabio Lione)I also get my musical inspiration from literature, dramatic movies, and of course my own personal life experiences.
My friend, business partner and mentor, Tom Hess is recruiting students for his one of a kind Music Careers Mentoring Program. I am a student in that program as well and I could not recommend it more highly. If you are a musician seeking to develop a career in this industry or if you are a professional already and seeking to take your career to new heights, this program is for you.

Sounds Like: My sound is a mix of all of my neo-classical influences and some of the more progressive bands (Symphony X and Dream Theater), with some very dramatic elements at times (bands like Hess and Rhapsody)I try to take all of that and compose the music that expresses my thoughts, feelings and emotions.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Type of Label: None
