Multi-instrumentalist with touring-level chops on sax, guitar, bass and keyboards. Solid lead and background vocal ability. I toured quite a bit back in the 80's but mostly just play on weekends and in church these days...although I've probably got a few more tours left in me if the right opportunity presents itself.

Sax - Michael Brecker, Gerald Albright, Lenny Pickett, Charlie DeChant, Phil Woods, David Sanborn

Guitar - Steve Lukather, Drew Zingg, Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Robert Cray, Mike Stern, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson

Equipment List:

Equipment isn't that important. They're just tools, and I have way more than I'll ever need. Everything I own is top-level pro stuff.
