When I'm hungry, I like to snack on banana peppers.I also enjoy running, hiking, camping, reading, railroading, and otherwise finding ways to escape reality.

I like movies about guitars, guitar effects, amps, strings, picks, lawn mowers, blowers, edgers, and weed wackers. Sometimes George L Cables too... These were some hitch hikers we picked up in Tijuana on Cinco de Mayo. This is the guitar I like to play after driving for 12 straight hours or when I'm in my pajamas.I like to use a lot of different things at different times. My main amps are a '65 Reissue Twin and a Mesa/Boogie .22 Cal. Both are very different but equally fantastic. My main guitars are a two Strats built from a couple different guitars. I love them. Don't ask about the Les Paul. Yes, I still love it, but like to keep it safely stowed away.
