About Me

I started playing guitar at the age of 15. I have always loved music since I was young so playing guitar was the perfect way to focus my creative abilities. I have studied many different styles. Because of this I know elements of blues, classical, flamenco, rock, classic rock, and many different forms of progressive music. I recorded an album the first year of my college which was independently recorded and released. That went so well I recorded an acoustic album the following year. My next move was to start the band Quail with Mike Reilly(of safejacket). We recorded 3 albums one duo prodject all acoustic than to the full band for an electric and acoustic album. I went back to writing and recording my own music again until I graduated college in spring of 06. Briefly I was in Safe Jacket but decided to leave w/ the bassist (Jason Barshinger) and drummer (Cory McClean). This really allows me to explore my inner most creativity in pushing myself as the best guitar player and writer that I can be. My recent band formed called Rhea Silvia has been doing well. Well for those who haven't herd yet we won best new artist of central Pa held by the 717 doctors office for 2008. We are all really excited and I personally couldn't be more happy with the lineup. Thanks for any support and keep in touch for show updates daily. As for my solo music I am always doing that and will forever, so stay tuned for the 3rd solo instrumental album the "SIAFU" is swarming....
