About Me

Born in Venice Beach California on Christmas day 1982. When I was 5 my parents, our dog and I moved to Idaho Falls Idaho. I graduated from Skyline Highschool in 2001. I went to college at Idaho State University for three years, studied psychology. I moved to San Diego in 2004, along with my awesome girlfriend sara and my ultra dedicated band mates John,Jason, and Justin. That pretty much catches you up to where I am Today. I decided to dedicate my full time to playing music with my bros in Difficult Henry. I have been with my girlfriend Sara for almost five years now. She's an awesome person and I enjoy her company very much. She helps me out a lot when it comes to my music and pretty much every aspect of my life. I would have been much more reserved about moving if she wouldn't have been so supportive. She rules. I love playing instruments, especially guitar, electric or acoustic. I stated messing around with the guitar when I was about 9, started taking lessons when I was 12. Growing up I took cello lessons for a while, played the baritone for 3 years in junior high. The first instrument I learned to play was the drums when I was around 3 or 4. I also enjoy drinking good beer (Alpine Ale is the holy), going to concerts, watching movies, goin to the beach, or trekkin around san diego when I'm not working,practicing, gigging, or frnrdgrrping! Unfortunatly Difficult Henry is no longer active. I now am working with Downspell. I also give music lessons to some kids on the weekend. They have a band that is named "Koncussion" and I guarantee you in a few years they will make most bands round here cry! I am working at Taylor guitars now and love it. Most of my days consist of making guitars for 8 hours, then going home and playing guitar for an hour or two.
