Hi Guys!

About Me

Hey Folks,My name is Mike and I am a musician from Albany, CA. I have been playing the guitar for over half my life and have been blessed to play it as a way of living for the last 4 years. Click here to check out my music! I am married to a kick ass woman who spoils the shit out of me. We have been married for the last 7 years but I have known her for the last 11. We have no kids but we do have 3 cats and a dog that I inherited from my mom shortly after she passed away.It looks like in the not too distant future I will be starting my own Record Label called Buggle Entertainment (named after my dog) and becoming a road rat pushing my 2nd CD that is coming out next year.Music takes up so much of my time so I don’t have that many hobbies. I do enjoy hanging out with friends and watching movies. I used to collect Star Wars stuff but stopped because the money I used for that now goes to music.
