Native of New York City, straight outta 175th Street and Broadway in northern Manhattan's predominantly Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights. I've lived in Miami for years, but I never stopped feeling a very strong connection to my NY roots. I miss my great days in the old neighborhood, and visit regularly. I feel fortunate to have come from WH, and it'll always be a part of me and who I am. I gotta admit, Miami has been good to us, too.
Music has been a major part of my life since early childhood, starting off with The Beatles, discovering and becoming consumed by KISS, and onto cementing my love for heavy metal in the early 1980s with bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. I've played guitar since my early teens, inspired by the likes of Ace Frehley, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Jake E. Lee, Wolf Hoffmann, and Dave Mustaine.
When I'm not listening to music, I can find myself playing, composing, and recording it. Inspiration comes and goes, but always in extremes. There were times when I thought I was "done" with playing, but I've realized that after playing guitar for most of my life, it's a part of me I'll never be able to give up.
Drug-free, non-smoker, and only an occasional social drinker.
