About Me

I'm a G.I.T. graduate (Guitar Institute of Technology) with national tour experience, pro gear and lots of studio time under my belt.
My most recent project was the recording of several solos for a song called "Congregation", which appeared on the new Metal Church album released late 2008.
Other projects include the recording of a full length studio album with Machines Of Grace to be released summer 2009 (featuring Jeff Plate and Zak Stevens from Savatage, Circle II Circle, Metal Church, Mark Wood and Trans Siberian Orchestra). The Machines Of Grace record was mixed and produced by Paul David Hager, there will be some touring to support it.
I'm also a member of Boston based HELLSPEAK, which is due to start recording a full length studio album soon. A two song demo recorded early 2008 has already sparked interest from several labels and management companies.
Previous bands of note include Geffen recording artist Adam Bomb and Boston band Trigger Effect, the later of which toured with Iron Maiden, Rob Halford and Queensryche.
I've done extensive studio work with producer Paul David Hager (Dixie Chicks, Megadeth, Butch Walker, Avril Levine, Goo Goo Dolls) and Grammy winning producer Neil Kernon. I'm always looking for an interesting project (live or studio), so drop me a message if you've got something!
