About Me

Charleston Guitarist Extraordinaire (self proclaimed). :P Originally from Maryland, I came to SC to attend college. I quickly developed the Lowcountry bug and have been down here since - gotta love beach life! I work a professional job to pay the bills, but have a passion for music. I'm in a new band that's blues based with healthy doses of psychedelic rock and jam.My new band, Transonic Czars, will be gigging this Summer, '08.

My Interests

Music, art, & open-minded people interest me. Good wine, good ppl, good times! Traveling and other "soul-feeding" activity is what makes me feel alive. I love playing guitar and feel deeply connected to music. My music seems to be not only therapeutic, but serves as a diary of sorts when I revisit songs written in years past..."My life has a constant soundtrack playing"
