A brief history:

I started playing guitar at the age of 11. I took professional lessons for 6 years and have been self-taught ever since. The first time I decided to take the guitar seriously was when my father took me to a Phil Keaggy concert. Man... he blew me away with his amazing guitar skill! Then I heard Joe Satriani, and that was it! I knew I had to play guitar for the rest of my life.

I have played in many bands, some of which are listed above, and have done some studio work as well. Through these bands, I have made many long lasting friendships, and I thank God for all those who have become so important in my life, and for all the help and support they give in my music work.

I want to keep this short so I don't bore you. Thank you for visiting my site.
God bless!
