About Me

I've been working on this solo stuff while I'm between bands and tours. Now I'm taking more time to focus on it than before, hopefully it shows! I grew up in a suburb of Detroit MI, then went to college in Boston and then moved to pittsburgh, pa for about six months. i left pittsburgh for the road. I did sound for a band on tour, and then played guitar for another band on a couple more national tours. I decided to stay in LA for a while and work on my own music, then i moved back to boston, so here i am.

also.... i am now playing keyboards and acoustic guitar for this car up go add them!! thanks!
