Growing up in Huntington Beach, CA I started playing guitar at the age of 9. My early influences included just about anything that had cool guitar in it, which at the time (late 60's early 70's) was just about anything on the radio. I started playing bluegrass banjo at age 13 and quickly formed my first bluegrass band "White Lightning".

Through the years my "musical curiousity" has lead me to take up some different instruments and styles. I also play Mandolin, Dobro, Pedal Steel and Bass.

After spending many years playing bluegrass banjo I decided to get serious about playing guitar again. It was at this time I was offered some work playing pedal steel guitar with up and coming new-country star Sara Evans (who was not yet famous but was in the process of getting signed). I was able to really cut my teeth on the steel with that band and have been grateful since

Nowadays I spend most of my time in my home studio recording and producing my own music, as well as other local artists in the Portland, Oregon area. I also keep busy doing webdesign work with my brother at THE WEBBROS.COM. I also can do websites for bands and musicians. I can be reached at randy@thewebbros.com.
