About Me

The story of my life abbreviated...
I'm a husband, somebody's father (yipee), a son, a brother, a friend...and it could turn out to be the most important detail of all, a believer in Jesus Christ.
I was a founding member of the locally award-winning San Diego band, Hot Rod Lincoln. As a key member for better than 13 years, we toured throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan, released 5 independent CD’s, and backed up many great artists on stage and in the studio. I'm humbled and honored to have performed on stage with some American music legends such as Chuck Berry, Billy Zoom, Johnny Rivers, Billy Lee Reiley, Sha Na Na, Robert Gordon, Brian Setzer, and more.
Right now I'm the front man for Big Rig Deluxe , I'm also frontman for CASH KINGS Johnny Cash Tribute Band , I'm also frontman for The Hayriders , I'm also frontman for The Rock n Roll Rangers , Sunday mornings I play worship at Scott Memorial Community Church , on an outreach team with Jerry "Hot Rod" DeMink, play upright bass in Jump Jones as well as in Blue Largo . I know it sounds like a lot and it is, but I still find some time to fill out my schedule by subing on gigs when I can. It's a great living and my beautiful wife Diana believes in me and that's worth a million bucks right there.More will be revealed!

My Interests

Mostly I'm interested in being a good husband and father, and everything it takes to make that a reality for Diana and Elijah. I feel blessed that I get to play music for a living and I get to perform with some of the best musicians on the roots music scene here in San Diego. Until I get a message directly from the Man, I'll continue to do my best to do His will.

"Our Father...Amen."
- Jesus

Music:

Music?

Now how is any musician worth his salt supposed to answer such a ginormous question as this?
Yes I like "good" music of almost any style, from Motzart to Meatloaf, Bowie to Beethoven, Allison Krauss to Iggy Pop, Big Sady to B-52's, X to Paul Simon, Sun Sessions to U2... And I love playing music.
