I have been a musician/composer/luthier for over 25 years. I started playing guitar in 1995 at age 12, and also can play Bass and Keyboard. I also have played Trumpet, Mandolin, Banjo, and random other instruments - though by "play" I mean mess with it till' something musical comes out.

I have been predominantly a lead guitarist and composer/songwriter in local bands since age 15 including scenes in the Montgomery Alabama, Seattle Washington, and Reno Nevada areas. Here's some highlights of that briefly, the rest can be found in the vault where I bury store my old projects for safekeeping. With these projects I have been on the radio, TV as a part of at least one or two projects, and been in several acts that played benefits for local charities. I have also played the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle, and Smokin' 66' was a frequent flier of the legendary Central Saloon. I also have written - on my own - over 50 albums of material released to the internet since 2003, mostly for free.

My Influences Are:a-ha, B-52's, The Cars, The Cult, The Cure, chiptunes, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Koji Kondo, Loverboy, Mr. Mister, Metallica, Nirvana, Nintendo Games, The Police, P-Model, Quarterflash, Stone Temple Pilots, Van-Halen, Whitesnake, ZZ Top...just to name a *few*. This allows me to encompass these without making a royal scroll of names out of it.
