About Me

Music Farm (Charleston) Jan 12, 2007
Cool SlideshowsI've been living in Charleston now for 8 years with my wife Trish and 3 animals. Originally from upstate NY, I moved to Dallas TX in 1992 where I learned about the city life and horrible heat. Charleston is not much better heat wise but at least the beach is here. My brothers Curtis and Derek also live with us which makes the house quite crowded but we get along well and my wife can stand them.I've been playing the guitar now for 27 years and am currently in the band "Smoking The Ghost" which was formed by my friends Mike and Ted and my brother Curtis. Originally I started jamming with them as a 2nd guitarist but they did not have a bass player so I started playing that instead. With many original songs in the works and one that just got recorded at Fusion 5 studios, be looking for us to hit the Charleston music scene with a bang in the next couple of months (by Oct 2006).
