Hi,
I am a complete music junkie!
I graduated in 2002 from MI in Los Angeles focusing on as much contemporary music as I could digest, moved to NY to play jazz and now I live in Portland, OR (the Coolest City). I have had the good fortune to play and record with some amazing artists from all over the world like Steve Lukather, Ike Willis, Robin Ford, Scott Henderson, George Duke, and Stanley Clark.
I am a minimalist at heart, with a great belief that the music always comes first, but I am also at home comping chords, soloing, and adding as much color as needed to the music (Thanks Damian, I kind of ripped that).
Since I have been in Portland, I have been lucky enough to work with some great artists in the Portland area including: The Dave Milne Group, Charles Neal, Braille, Farnell Newton (he's a bad dude, I like every thing this guy plays), Ben Darwish, Asher Fulero, Ohmega Watts, Sirens Echo, Kristina Rae, Anthony Jones and Congregation, Gretchen Mitchell, Liv Warfield, Damian Erskine, Chris Mosely, The Blacknotes, AG Donnaloia, and Zuppa.
I play full-time for Debra Arlyn. I think she's amazing and I can't say how much I love working with her and the rest of the band. If you get a chance, come out and check us out. We'll be playing all over the NW this year and it's always a great night.
I am available for lessons at Five Star Guitars. 503-439-9500 and gigs of all styles at 503-490-2040.
I play Audere Audio preamps exclusively. Catch David at Audereaudio.com. Great guy, great company.
I am an animal rights supporter and a vegan. If I'm not working on Music, I'm probably in the Woods or on a Mountain.
