I'm a guitarist based in Northern California, and have been playing professionally for over 25 years. Some of my biggest musical influences include Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Steve Lukather, and Joe Perry, along with Stevie Wonder, Al McKay, Mike Campbell, and Robben Ford. I feel that I'm influenced by everyone I hear, in some way.When I am not busy performing, I teach guitar to numerous kids and adult beginners throughout the Northern San Francisco Bay Area.I am available to perform live at your club, or at your next special event. I can also perform on your next recording, or live with your band.
