I have been in the San Antonio area for about ten years after moving here from New Orleans. I grew up playing Jazz/Blues/Funk which somehow evolved into technical/heavy (ie: math rock) type music (although I really like anything 'good').

I enjoy using effects in a tasteful and real-time fashion (ie: changing effects while I use them).

I consider myself a very soulful and aggressive guitarist doing my best to serve the song and play to the strengths of my band mates.

I am the guitarist for the San Antonio area band Thirteen Muses and guitar columnist for the Edge Magazine ('The Pick Stops Here'), but am seeking a new project for myself and my vocalist as this one has come to a halt.

Influences:

This could be a long list, so I'll just mention bands and musicians that influence me currently: Michael Hedges, John Petrucci, Candiria, Coheed and Cambria, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Lamb of God, Hella, Rage Against the Machine, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, etc.
