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 in all cases but the guitar.

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.

Some of my Guitar Influences in Chronological Order: Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Ric Ocasek & Elliot Easton (The Cars), Billy Gibbons (ZZ top), Paul Dean (Streetheart/Loverboy), Edward Van-Halen (c'mon, you know where-from), and Ricky Wilson (The B-52s)

My Overall 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.

Currently, I'm just rocking out on my lonesome and making a slow move from BandLab to just using my YouTube Channel for music, as BandLab is fucking me tender with ads. So starting in October 2024 I started recording The GarageBand Sessions (see playlist below), a lot of old stuff from M.J., Lithium, Smokin' 66'/Deliciously Infectious, and other parts of my back catalog mixed with new stuff done on my Late 2015 iMac while messing around in Garage Band as a way to get back to my guitar-based roots.

As of 2024, because I don't have enough hobbies apparently - I started making (extremely low effort) music with A.I. fully as well....well....attempts at Comedy music at least, as the primary Disc Jockey of the planet's first Inter-Dimensional radio station, WODR. My real plan with that outing is to confuse and mess up the A.I. Algorithms with so many songs full of 8 year old humor and rampant lunacy that an A.I. takeover would look more like a goofey Garfield and Friends episode, or an episode of Skibidi Toilet someone like me would actually watch (don't even ask). Anyway, **ahem** we're Playing all the hits spanning the Space Time Contiuum and The Universe....wherever these things come from. YouTube. I also have creations posted (their earliest forms even - at times) on Suno and Udio.
