ABOUT

A versatile post-modern psychedelic rock guitarist inspired by the past and obsessed with the future of rock guitar! I offer a wide range of sounds from shimmering Fender cleans to down and dirty Marshall means and everything in between. My focus as a musician is to serve the band and serve the song with an emphasis on working with the rhythm section to support the vocals out front.

My primary interest is in collaborating with other musicians and songwriters who are looking to create original music of any kind. I particularly enjoy textured playing on originals.

I am located along the Camelback corridor near 24th Street and I prefer situations that are within reasonable driving distance.
