I got my first real guitar when I was 7 years old, and quickly learned the minor blues pentatonic lick from the opening of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", using my thumb. I think I've gotten better, since then. ;)
Originally from Maryland, I moved to the midwest in late 80's, and joined the group "Zenith Rising", sharing the stage with former "The Beast" vocalist/frontman David Raines. Since then, I have played the role of lead guitarist in numerous semi-full and full-time groups, including All Eyes, Hangman's Jury, Boar's Tusk, the Troy Spradlin Band, and the Dirty Mushroom Band...traveling all over the United States.
A yearning for creative growth has propelled me to develop my skills as a lead vocalist, frontman, songwriter, and recording engineer...as well as an even stronger and more diverse guitarist...a yearning I still feel quite powerfully today.
