SEEKING

ABOUT

Retired Aerospace Engineer that is transitioning from music as a part time hobby/job to full commitment as a cover musician and composer. I have a good grasp of music theory and use playing by ear, internet tutorials, and music when available to get my parts as real as possible when playing cover material.

I do have a strong creative side with a hunger for improvisation and composing. Current activities include keyboardist for DFW area bands Knights of Rock & Aeromotion.
