About Me

LATEST NEWS:I HAVE RE-JOINED JAG PANZER! WE WILL BE HEADLINING THE PRESTIGIOUS KEEP-IT-TRUE FESTIVAL IN GERMANY ON APRIL 5TH! Music has been my passion just about all of my life. I play/teach many musical styles, such as Rock, Jazz, Classical, Acoustic Fingerstyle, Metal, Blues, Country, Latin and New Age. I am a member of the internationally-acclaimed metal band Jag Panzer, who have recorded and released many CDs and toured internationally over the past two decades. They have headlined hundreds of festivals and opened for many acclaimed acts, such as Megadeth and other well-known groups. I have also performed with members of Badfinger, Steve Vai, Steppenwolf, Frank Zappa, Warren Zevon, Spencer Davis Group, Loggins and Messina, The Litter, The Castaways, Herman's Hermits, and other well-known classic rock artists. My own style of music is instrumental Rock/Fusion, similar in style to Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Shawn Lane, etc., although I draw my inspiration from all styles of music. I have been fortunate to have studied with rock/shred virtuoso Jason Becker, world-renowned classical guitarist/author Ricardo Iznaola, jazz guitarist Jerry Hahn, and pianist/composer Bill Alexander (Equal-Interval System), as well as Music Theory/Composition studies at North Texas State University. I am also a member of the international Registry Of Guitar Tutors.
