ABOUT

Just a simple man doing something he loves. Not looking to make it big and accepting the fact that Im too old to do so. So, I do it for fun and to keep my chops up when I can. Ive been playing off and on for about 17 years or so but more serious in the last year. Fun is the key word and I will always stick to that...if one takes it way too serious and makes if stressful for me...then we might not get along. Im pretty laid back for the most part but I will be vocal when its required and for good reason if need be. Otherwise, I just want to jam....nothing more or less. Im currently with a cover group called Final Assembly. Our range is from old school 70's rock like Thin Lizzy to more "modern" metal like System of a Down....and alot of other things in between. Normally Im monogamous with the group Im in at the time, but here lately I got a taste of playing the field and jamming with other groups...so, might be open to doing another project as long as its fun, what I like, and stress free....

You can find me on if you need to get a hold of me.
