ABOUT
I have been playing guitar most of my life, but mostly classic rock. After college I toured in a hard rock band for a year prior to joining the Navy. Throughout my naval career, I played in ship bands and have played in many countries and on many seas. Now that I am retired from the Navy I am back to playing every day and am working to become a blues-rock, Americana musician. I am currently extremely blessed to be playing with an awesome band containing very talented musicians.
