I played Classical and Jazz trumpet for 4 years before picking up a guitar. Since then guitar has been my main focus, mainly in classic rock and metal, mostly lead-type stuff but really anything that interests me.

I played in my first band for 6 months when I was 14 before breaking up after not playing a single gig, and from there I found a truly talented group of people in Oklahoma. We played festivals and other random gigs throughout almost 3 years together with myself as Lead Guitar. In that time we put together a fairly large amount of music, both covers and originals and we sat down and recorded an album together, covering 13 tracks and what we felt to be the best of our original music. All 3 tracks available to play here are songs I either wrote myself, Leading Me On, to songs I collaborated with my band to make, Entrust and Papa Pork Jam.

I do have some experience recording, both from my own studio album to helping others, and I have decent experience doing sound and video editing with various software, from Cool Edit Pro to Soundtrack and Soundbooth to Final Cut and After Effects. Working with computers is just another of my passions and it's a part of my daily life working as a programmer/developer.

Right now I'm on the job hunt and I'm playing with two or three different bands right now on a semi-casual basis to get gigs and extra money but I'm very interested in finding the right group to call my "band."
