About Me

I've been a bassist and guitarist for 25 years playing around the Portland / Vancouver area. I've focused my efforts in gospel and Christian alternative music and now I'm working more and more in instrumental Jazz.You can find me playing with
    The Daniel Noland Trio Pew38 The Swing Sisters Christian Youth Theatre Kent Borror at CPBC
.... and many others. I look forward to seeing you!I truly owe my musical development to my dear sister Deborah Greenidge and the whole Greenidge Family , to Dan and Georgene Rice , Kent Borror and most of all to the drummers that have schooled me over the years, Chuck McCool and Dave Small . Thank You ALL!My talent i cannot claim as my own, it's a gift provided by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
