About Me

Well, it first looked like I would follow in the classical/church piano footsteps like most people in my family. But I rebelled. I dropped out of piano lessons and bought a drum set. I had alot of fun drumming in local rock bands but i then I bought an electric guitar. I used to have an actual job. But in 24 hours i got fired, girlfriend moved, and a dear jumped out and destoryed my truck......ive been playing full time since. That was six years ago. But in the last 11 years, I've I jumped in and out of bands (Jam bands, Hard core bands, Blues Bands, Punk bands, Country bands, jazz bands ect.) for several years witch is where i get my diversity from. Three years ago I satarted getting in to Loop Sampling and started playing solo.Now I play Rythym and Lead Acoustic guitar,Bass Guitar, Steel Drums, Key boards, Melodica, and Kazoo (at the same time) while singing and entertaining the hell out of a crowd.I play 200+ shows a year ranging from Virginia Beach to Key West, Flordia. I love doing shows with other and diverse bands.....nothing is more amusing than a hippie opening up for a hard core band or a country act except making it work.
