When I was 8 I joined my school chorus and took up trumpet. In 1982 my family moved to San Francisco and I began learning guitar. As it has played out, I have been lucky, surrounded by a great deal of talent here in California. I have played shows and/or recorded with: guitarists Thaen Rasmussen (Vicious Rumors, Anvil Chorus, Black Sun), Bill Storkson (audiosfx.com, My Victim) and Noel Jay (My Victim), drummers Slade Anderson (Supaphat, Snot, Beyond Race, My Victim), Terry Hamilton (Warning SF), Johnny Jailbert (Warner recording artist 'Fantasia') and Brandon Caddigan (NMSO4 - a.k.a. Crooked), vocal/lyricist Sal Di Filippo in a variety of acts, including: Black Widow, Subjected, Black Sun, Moontide, Velocity and Devine Madness. My old teacher, Doug Doppler, he of the Joe Satriani dojo, is enjoying success as a Favored Nations' recording artist.
