ABOUT

Previous experience as electric guitar player for Monroe Community Church in Grand Rapids, MI (h.monroecommunitychurch), Harderwyk Ministries Watershed (.harderwyk/watershed) and New Ground Church (s://newgroundchurch/). Also sat in on bass with the Upstage Crew blues band (s://./upstagecrew/).

I play because I love to play. It's my passion, my worship and the power source that recharges my batteries. Looking for like minded musicians who enjoy playing and creating together. I also enjoy building my own effects pedals and working up to an amp build as well as a guitar build.

Influences

I am a late bloomer/ self-taught guitar player who started playing in my 30s. The majority of my influences come from the massive amounts of Blues music to which I have listened over the past 20 years or so. When I'm playing a lead line, I am hearing vocal runs and embellishments, and trying to channel those through the guitar. Favorite quote :"Learn to play the music you want to hear." ~ Rev. Billy F Gibbons
