About Me

Semi-Pro bassist with over 20 years of experience. I enjoy playing anything that pushes my ability and forces me to be a better player (except for new-country, that's just a test of my patience....).

I "retired" from the road a few years ago and now am an I.T. assistant for Pearl Drums/Hughes and Kettner. I'm still gigging alot, just locally though. I'm actively involved with my praise and worship band at church as well as doing alot of demo work from my home.

Down with meeting anyone, if you're a little weird, that's all the better. If you're a lot weird, then that means you're my evil twin and must be stopped at all costs.... There can be only one.

top 8ish

Wish they'd make the top 8 optional. I don't dig it. My friends are my friends are my friends. All get equal amounts of respect/harrassment/cyber-stalking/prank phonecalls/verbal abuse/and love.
