About Me

I started playing guitar when I saw some kid in the Cafeteria plucking out a Nirvana song on some girls violin and thinking to myself "I know now what i must do!". Well that may not be all of it, but seeing the attention that kid got finally made me pick up my moms old guitar and pool my collective attention long enough to learn Wipe Out from her. From there it was 5 years of lessons, and now its been close to 14 years of listening, practicing and learning. Things have bounced around a lot over the past years including a few identity crises. But I finally feel ready to introduce myself. I am now playing with a band. We are currently a Trio and hope to expand in the future. I have had my songs featured in an independent film called Pinche Burro. (Check back for updates on where and when you can see the film.) And, there will be an official EP released this year. Im not exactly sure when but i promise it will happen. Check back often and come on out to the shows to support the band. Its going to be a very exciting year I look forward to sharing it with as many people as possible.
