About Me

Hello to all, I am currently on tour with the group Mannheim Steamroller traveling around the country for the next few weeks. Our last date is on May 5th in Denver, CO which should be a great place to wrap up our last show. My plans for this summer are to play a few local gigs in Omaha and then I'm heading to Chicago for vacation for a few days so I can catch a Cubs game. Then it will be back down to Branson, MO at the end of September to play more music for the Steamroller. Anyway, the basics about me are pretty obvious. I love music and I have devoted my entire life to it and I'm finally making some headway towards becoming one of the top free lance musicians on the market. I guess that's about all there is to know, but if there is something else you wanna know about me, drop me a line.

My Interests

Traveling the world and meeting new people. I am lucky enough to have a job that allows me to do both at the same time.

I'd like to meet:

Myspace Backgrounds

Music:

I love just about every type of music out there. I used to really hate country music, and I still do for the most part, but I had a friend show me some bands that I actually ended up liking. My favorite type of music is definately rock though a.k.a. At The Drive In, The Mars Volta, Green Day, Weezer, Velvet Revolver and especially Tool, etc. I'm also a huge Ben Harper fan as well.

New Career

Well, after much thought and realizing how bad the music business is, I'm thinking about a new career. I've always been fascinated with flying and avionics and I'm very interested in learning how to f...

The brighter side of life

Well it's late night in Morristown NJ, and I'm up late as usual contemplatining life. My life the last year or so has been nothing short of unusual. I guess I always expected to be at a po...

The Dark Side

I've recently noticed an interesting trend which is quite troubling here on our tour of the U.S. Our production crew has taken this spite against the band for some unknown reason. I ...

The Dark Side

End of the road

Life is crazy

I have alaways wondered about how much life matters, and it makes more sense to realize there is no sense in every day I live. There are soooooo many people in the world and to think that my lif...
